Description
The Avanos PS6503-A is an ON-Q Pain Relief System* kit featuring a SILVERSOAKER Antimicrobial Catheter*. This elastomeric pump is a medium-volume, low-flow configuration designed to provide targeted, non-narcotic pain relief for an extended duration following surgery.
The PS6503-A is a single-site configuration optimized for patients who require sustained medication delivery over several days.

Key Features
Extended Therapy Duration: With a 270 mL reservoir and a slow 2 mL/hr flow rate, this system provides approximately 135 hours (5.6 days) of continuous local anesthetic delivery. It is one of the longest-lasting configurations available for the 270 mL pump.
Antimicrobial Protection: The SilverSoaker* technology utilizes a silver coating on the catheter surface to inhibit bacterial growth. This is a critical safety feature for catheters that remain indwelling for the duration of a multi-day recovery.
Uniform Infiltration: The "Soaker" hollow-fiber design ensures the local anesthetic is distributed evenly along the entire 2.5-inch segment, preventing "hot spots" and ensuring consistent pain relief across the incision or nerve site.
Mechanical Reliability: The elastomeric pump is purely mechanical, using a pressurized balloon to drive the infusion. Because it requires no batteries or programming, it is highly reliable for home use.
Primary Uses
The PS6503-A is ideal for procedures where a moderate-sized incision or nerve site is expected to cause persistent pain for more than 72 hours:
Abdominal Surgeries: Standard hernia repairs, smaller laparotomies, or hysterectomies.
Orthopedic Procedures: Shoulder or knee surgeries (such as ACL reconstruction) where a continuous nerve block or wound infiltration is needed for the first 5 days.
Breast Surgery: Mastectomies or larger lumpectomies where sustained pain relief is critical for patient comfort and mobility.
Thoracic Surgery: For intercostal nerve blocks to assist with breathing and movement post-operatively.
