Description
The PM014-A is an ON-Q Pain Relief System with SilverSoaker Antimicrobial Catheter** manufactured by Avanos Medical. This system is designed for surgical procedures requiring a higher flow rate (5 ml/hr) to manage post-operative pain over a standard duration of approximately two days.
The "A" designation signifies the inclusion of a SilverSoaker* catheter, which provides antimicrobial protection and uniform medication diffusion.
Key Features
SilverSoaker Antimicrobial Catheter:* The catheter is coated with silver to inhibit bacterial growth on the device surface. It utilizes hollow-fiber technology to ensure local anesthetic diffuses evenly across the entire 2.5-inch infusion segment, eliminating "hot spots."
Higher Flow Rate: At 5 ml/hr, this model is ideal for procedures where a more robust delivery of anesthetic is needed to saturate the nerve or surgical site compared to the 2 ml/hr models.
Non-Narcotic Relief: Provides continuous, targeted analgesia that reduces the need for systemic opioids, which can help minimize side effects like nausea, constipation, and sedation.
Elastomeric Technology: The pump is powered by a pressurized internal balloon, requiring no batteries or electronics. It is silent and lightweight, facilitating early patient mobilization.
Fixed-Flow Precision: The flow rate is pre-set at the factory to ensure consistent dosing and prevent accidental adjustment by the patient.
