Description
The Avanos PM002 is a specialized model within the ON-Q Pain Relief System* product line. It is a non-electronic, disposable elastomeric pump specifically configured for epidural administration, designed to provide continuous local anesthesia for post-operative pain management.
Key Features
Epidural-Specific Kit: Purpose-built for regional anesthesia, delivering local anesthetics directly into the epidural space rather than a surgical wound.
Non-Opioid Pain Management: A core component of multimodal analgesia, it helps reduce the need for systemic narcotics and their associated side effects like nausea and sedation.
Maintenance-Free & Silent: A completely mechanical system that requires no batteries, electricity, or programming, ensuring silent and reliable operation.
Radiopaque Catheter: The included 24-inch catheter is visible under X-ray or fluoroscopy, allowing clinicians to verify precise placement easily.
Standard Safety Filtration: Features an integrated filter to prevent air or particulates from entering the sensitive epidural space.
Ambulatory Mobility: Lightweight and portable, allowing patients to remain mobile and participate in physical therapy earlier in their recovery.
