is a portable, single use, disposable pain management device that delivers a continuous, controlled infusion of local anaesthetic to the surgical site.
Direct infusion of local anaesthetics into operative sites, including intra-articular, perineural, subcutaneous and percutaneous wound instillation, has been proven to improve analgesia and decrease supplemental opioid use and side effects, with a low incidence of related complications.

Full instructions for use >>>
The pump is an elastomerically driven [balloon] device encased in a hard plastic bulb. The maximum volume is 250ml. Imprinted graduation marks indicate how much medication is in the device.
The administration line incorporates a flow regulator offering a choice of 2,3,4, or 5ml rates per hour, easily changed using a supplied key.
The infusion catheter is comprised of a flexible plastic tube with open proximal end and closed distal end, forming a single axial lumen, with a multitude of holes formed in a spiral pattern along an extended fenestrated segment near the distal end of the tube. A fine wire coil spring, wound with each adjacent coil touching or nearly touching the next, is positioned within the lumen and extends the full length of the catheter body. The majority of the fluid flowing into the catheter travels down the inside of the wire coil spring, and seeps out between the coils to flow out through the holes in the catheter body.
The seeping action caused by the coil spring tends to spread the fluid more evenly between all of the holes along the fenestrated catheter segment, whereas most of the fluid would follow the path of least resistance out of the first few holes if the coil spring were not in place.
No more mis-connections! Our unique luer connector arrangement means no other administration lines [e.g IV] can be inadvertently connected to the catheter hub.
