Description
The Avanos PS12504-A is an ON-Q Pain Relief System* kit featuring a SILVERSOAKER Antimicrobial Catheter*. This elastomeric pump is designed for high-volume, single-site delivery of local anesthetic for continuous, non-narcotic pain management following surgery.
The PS12504-A is differentiated by its medium-sized reservoir and extended soaker length, making it ideal for standard to large surgical incisions.
Technical Specifications
Fill Volume: 270 mL.
Flow Rate: 5 mL/hr (Fixed flow).
Catheter Type: SILVERSOAKER* Antimicrobial Catheter (Silver-coated).
Catheter Soaker Length: 5.0 inches (12.5 cm).
Catheter Total Length: 26.5 inches (approx. 67.3 cm).
Needle Size: 17G Split Introducer Needle.
Sterility: Sterile, Single-Use (Ethylene Oxide sterilization).
Key Features
Extended 5-Inch Soaker: The 5.0-inch infusion segment provides double the coverage area of the standard 2.5-inch catheter. This is specifically useful for longer incisions where uniform distribution of local anesthetic is required across the entire wound bed.
Antimicrobial Protection: The silver coating on the SilverSoaker* catheter inhibits bacterial growth on the device surface. This is a critical safety feature for catheters that remain indwelling for multiple days (typically 3–5 days).
Optimal Duration: With a 270 mL reservoir and a 5 mL/hr flow rate, the system provides approximately 54 hours (2.25 days) of continuous therapy.
Uniform Infusion: Utilizing "Soaker" technology, the medication is delivered evenly through a hollow-fiber design along the entire 5-inch length, rather than just exiting through the tip.
NRFit Compatibility: Note that the PS12504-A-N variant features NRFit® connectors, which are designed to reduce the risk of accidental misconnections between neuraxial and IV systems.
Primary Uses
This specific 270 mL / 5 mL/hr kit with a 5-inch soaker is commonly selected for surgeries such as:
Abdominal Surgeries: Hernia repairs, hysterectomies, or appendectomies where a moderate volume of anesthetic is sufficient.
Orthopedic Procedures: Total joint replacements (hip or knee) or spinal surgeries involving incisions around 5 inches long.
Thoracic Procedures: For intercostal nerve blocks or incision site infiltration.
Plastic Surgery: Breast reconstructions or smaller-scale abdominoplasties.
