Description
The PM013-A is an ON-Q Pain Relief System with SilverSoaker Antimicrobial Catheter** manufactured by Avanos Medical. This system provides a 270 ml reservoir for extended-duration, non-narcotic pain management following surgery.
The SilverSoaker* catheter included in this kit is the primary differentiator, offering both infection protection and superior medication distribution compared to standard catheters.
Key Features
SilverSoaker Technology:* The catheter is impregnated with silver, which provides antimicrobial properties to help inhibit bacterial colonization on the device during the infusion period.
Hollow Fiber Delivery: Unlike standard catheters with drilled holes, the SilverSoaker* utilizes a "soaker" membrane that allows the local anesthetic to diffuse evenly across the entire 2.5-inch infusion segment.
Extended Reservoir: The 270 ml volume provides a longer duration of therapy compared to the smaller PM012-A, making it suitable for surgeries requiring up to 5 days of pain relief.
Automated Delivery: The elastomeric pump uses mechanical tension to deliver medication at a constant rate without the need for batteries or complex programming.
Opioid Reduction: By providing localized analgesia, this system helps clinicians reduce the patient's total opioid consumption, potentially speeding up recovery and discharge.
