Description
the Avanos PS6508 is a high-capacity, dual-site model within the ON-Q Pain Relief System*. It is an elastomeric infusion pump designed to deliver a continuous, fixed flow of local anesthetic to two separate surgical sites or nerve clusters simultaneously from a 400 mL reservoir.
Key Features
Dual Site Delivery: Features a bifurcated tubing system that splits the pump's output into two separate catheters, allowing for bilateral pain relief or the numbing of two distinct surgical areas.
SOAKER Catheter Technology:* Includes two 5-inch (12.5 cm) "soaker" catheters. These are significantly longer than those in the PS6507, providing a larger field of anesthesia for longer incisions.
Balanced Flow Distribution: The total flow rate of 4.0 mL/hr is divided between the two lines, providing a consistent 2.0 mL/hr per site.
Large Reservoir Capacity: The 400 mL fill volume supports the dual-flow rate while providing several days of continuous therapy.
Non-Opioid Analgesia: Delivers medication directly to the source of pain, helping to reduce systemic narcotic consumption and associated side effects like nausea and respiratory depression.
Maintenance-Free: Operates entirely on mechanical elastomeric pressure; it requires no batteries, electricity, or electronic programming.

Primary Uses
Major Bilateral Procedures: Ideal for surgeries requiring extensive pain management on both sides of the body, such as bilateral knee or hip replacements.
Long Incisions: Used when a single incision is too long for a standard 2.5-inch soaker, allowing two 5-inch catheters to cover a total of 10 inches of tissue.
Multi-Layer Tissue Numbing: Allows clinicians to provide anesthetic to different tissue layers (e.g., deep muscle and superficial subcutaneous) for more comprehensive coverage.
Extended Ambulatory Recovery: Facilitates early hospital discharge by providing hospital-grade, multi-site pain relief in a portable format for over 4 days.
