Description
The PM023-A is an ON-Q Pain Relief System with SilverSoaker Antimicrobial Catheter** manufactured by Avanos Medical. This system combines a high-capacity 270 ml reservoir with a long 5-inch infusion segment, specifically designed for major surgeries with larger incisions.
The "-A" designation signifies the inclusion of a SilverSoaker* catheter, which provides both antimicrobial protection and uniform medication diffusion.
Key Features
SilverSoaker Antimicrobial Catheter:* The catheter is impregnated with silver to inhibit bacterial growth on the device surface. It utilizes a porous "soaker" membrane (hollow fiber technology) to ensure the anesthetic diffuses evenly over the entire 5-inch segment, preventing the medication from pooling at a single exit point.
Large 270 ml Reservoir: The elastomeric "balloon" pump provides a significant volume of medication, allowing for extended therapy duration in a portable, non-electronic format.
Non-Narcotic Pain Management: Delivers continuous local anesthesia directly to the source of pain, helping to reduce the patient's reliance on systemic opioids and their associated side effects (nausea, constipation, and sedation).
5-Inch Infusion Segment: This longer segment is ideal for larger surgical sites, such as those in orthopedic (e.g., total knee or hip replacement) or major abdominal procedures.
Fixed-Flow Safety: The flow rate is factory-set to 5 ml/hr, providing robust delivery for larger wound areas while preventing accidental patient adjustment of the dosage.
