Description
The Avanos PS12503 is a high-capacity model within the ON-Q Pain Relief System* line. It is an elastomeric pump designed for non-opioid post-surgical pain management, featuring a large reservoir intended for longer-duration therapy.
Key Features
SOAKER Catheter Technology:* Includes a 5-inch (12.5 cm) "soaker" catheter designed to distribute local anesthetic evenly across a surgical wound or nerve area for uniform pain control.
Non-Opioid Analgesia: Delivers local anesthetic directly to the source of pain, helping to reduce systemic narcotic consumption and associated side effects like nausea and respiratory depression.
Extended Therapy Duration: The 270 mL reservoir allows for a much longer infusion time compared to standard 100 mL models, often covering the most critical first 5 to 6 days of recovery.
Fixed Flow Rate: Features a pre-set capillary restrictor to ensure a constant 2 mL/hr delivery, eliminating the need for patient or clinician programming.
Maintenance-Free & Silent: Operates completely without batteries or electronics, providing silent, continuous relief in both hospital and home settings.
Radiopaque Catheter: The catheter is visible under X-ray, allowing for confirmation of placement by clinical staff.

Post-Operative Recovery: Ideal for major surgeries (such as total joint replacements or abdominal procedures) where pain management is required for nearly a week.
Continuous Wound Infusion: Specifically useful for longer surgical incisions where the 5-inch soaker can provide even numbing across the entire site.
Enhanced Recovery Protocols (ERAS): A key tool for surgical teams looking to minimize opioid use while maintaining high levels of patient comfort and mobility.
Ambulatory Home Care: Enables patients to be discharged with professional-grade pain management, bridging the gap between hospital discharge and the cessation of acute pain.
