Description
The PM012-A is an ON-Q Pain Relief System with SilverSoaker Antimicrobial Catheter** manufactured by Avanos Medical. This system is a comprehensive, non-narcotic kit designed to provide continuous local anesthesia to a surgical site or near a nerve to manage post-operative pain.
The "-A" suffix indicates the inclusion of the SilverSoaker catheter*, which features an antimicrobial silver coating to help reduce the risk of infection at the insertion site.
Key Features
Antimicrobial Protection: The SilverSoaker* catheter is coated with silver, which acts as an antimicrobial agent to inhibit bacterial growth on the catheter surface.
Uniform Distribution: The SilverSoaker* catheter uses a unique "hollow fiber" technology that ensures the local anesthetic is distributed evenly across the entire infusion segment, preventing "hot spots" of medication.
Non-Narcotic Relief: By delivering targeted anesthesia directly to the source of pain, the system significantly reduces the need for systemic opioids and their associated side effects (nausea, sedation, etc.).
Elastomeric Pump: The kit includes an elastomeric "balloon" pump that is silent, portable, and requires no batteries or electronic programming to operate.
Fixed Flow Rate: Features a factory-set flow rate to ensure consistent delivery and enhance patient safety by preventing accidental over-delivery.
