Description
The Avanos PM004 is a high-flow model within the ON-Q Pain Relief System* specifically configured for epidural administration. It is designed to deliver a robust and continuous supply of local anesthetic to the epidural space, providing a higher basal flow rate than the standard 2.0 mL/hr models.
Key Features
High-Flow Epidural Delivery: Provides a constant flow of 5.0 mL per hour, suitable for patients or procedures requiring more intensive regional numbing.
Non-Opioid Analgesia: Delivers local anesthetic directly into the epidural space to block pain signals, helping to reduce systemic opioid consumption and associated side effects like nausea and respiratory depression.
Maintenance-Free & Silent: Operates via elastomeric pressure without batteries, electricity, or electronic programming, ensuring silent and reliable medication delivery.
Radiopaque Catheter: Includes a 24-inch catheter visible under X-ray or fluoroscopy, allowing clinicians to verify precise placement within the epidural space.
Integrated Safety Filter: Equipped with a specialized filter to protect the sensitive epidural space from air and particulate contamination.
Ambulatory Portability: Lightweight and disposable, allowing patients to maintain mobility while receiving continuous pain therapy.
