Description
the Avanos PS6502-A is an ON-Q Fixed Flow Pump Kit* designed for single-site post-surgical pain management. This elastomeric system delivers a continuous, non-narcotic local anesthetic to a surgical site or near a nerve, typically for a duration of 2 to 3 days.
The "PS" series is the standard Pain System line, and the PS6502-A is a low-volume, high-flow configuration, making it ideal for procedures requiring a rapid but short-duration infusion.
Technical Specifications
Fill Volume: 100 mL (Maximum capacity approx. 125 mL).
Flow Rate: 5 mL/hr (Fixed flow).
Catheter Type: Standard Soaker Catheter (Non-antimicrobial).
Catheter Soaker Length: 2.5 inches (65 mm).
Catheter Total Length: 24 inches (approx. 61 cm).
Needle Size: 17G Split Introducer Needle.
Sterility: Sterile, Single-Use (Ethylene Oxide sterilization).
Key Features
High Flow / Short Duration: With a 100 mL reservoir and a 5 mL/hr flow rate, this system provides approximately 20 hours of continuous therapy. It is designed for surgeries where the most intense pain is expected in the first 24 hours.
Compact Design: The 100 mL pump is small and lightweight, which is highly beneficial for patient comfort and mobility during the early stages of recovery.
Uniform Infiltration: The "Soaker" hollow-fiber technology ensures that the local anesthetic is distributed evenly along the entire 2.5-inch segment, rather than just exiting through the tip.
Simple Mechanics: The system is purely elastomeric (powered by a pressurized balloon). It requires no electronics, batteries, or complex programming, ensuring reliable delivery.
Primary Uses
The PS6502-A is typically selected for smaller surgical procedures or those with a shorter expected pain window, such as:
Outpatient Orthopedic Surgeries: Hand, foot, or ankle procedures where a high concentration of local anesthetic is needed for the first day.
Minor General Surgery: Small hernia repairs or laparoscopic port-site infiltration.
Breast Surgery: Smaller lumpectomies or biopsies.
Pediatric Surgery: Where smaller volumes of medication are appropriate for the patient's weight.
