Description
The Avanos PS12504 is a high-flow infusion pump kit within the ON-Q Pain Relief System*. It is specifically designed to manage post-surgical pain by delivering a continuous, pre-set flow of local anesthetic to a large surgical site or nerve area.
The "125" in the model number refers to the 12.5 cm (5-inch) "soaker" length of the catheter, which is longer than standard models to provide wider medication distribution across a larger area.
Key Features
Long Soaker Catheter: Equipped with a 5-inch (12.5 cm) infusion zone, making it ideal for large surgical incisions or long-spanning nerve paths where broad coverage is required.
High Fixed Flow Rate: Delivers medication at a steady 5.0 mL per hour, ensuring a robust dose for moderate to intense post-operative pain.
Non-Opioid Therapy: Directly blocks pain at the source, which helps patients reduce their reliance on systemic narcotics and avoids common side effects like nausea and sedation.
Automated & Silent: Powered by the mechanical pressure of the elastomeric "balloon." It requires no batteries or programming and operates silently.
Integrated Safety: Features a built-in, in-line filter to ensure the medication stream is free of air and particulate matter.
Radiopaque Catheter: The catheter is visible under X-ray or fluoroscopy, allowing for easy verification of placement.
