Description
The PM024-A is an ON-Q Pain Relief System with SilverSoaker Antimicrobial Catheter** manufactured by Avanos Medical. This system is specifically designed for procedures requiring a high flow rate (5 ml/hr) and a mid-length 5-inch infusion segment.
The "-A" designation indicates the inclusion of a SilverSoaker* catheter, which provides 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 porous hollow-fiber technology to ensure local anesthetic diffuses evenly over the entire 5-inch segment, preventing "hot spots" or pooling.
Large 270 ml Reservoir: The elastomeric "balloon" pump provides a substantial volume of medication, allowing for portable, non-electronic therapy.
High Flow Rate (5 ml/hr): This model delivers a robust volume of anesthetic to saturate the surgical site or nerve area, making it ideal for larger wound areas or procedures where a more concentrated dose is needed.
Non-Narcotic Pain Management: Provides targeted, continuous analgesia that helps reduce the need for systemic opioids, leading to fewer side effects like nausea, constipation, and sedation.
Safety & Mobility: The flow rate is factory-set and cannot be adjusted by the patient. The lightweight design and included carrying case allow the patient to remain mobile during recovery.
