OnQ Pain Management System
ZEBRA MEDICAL is the sole supplier of the ON-Q™ range of products manufactured by AVANOS (previously Halyard Health), USA, in South Africa.
The ON-Q™ pain relief system administers a continuous regulated flow of local anaesthetic through a specially designed fenestrated silver- impregnated catheter to the incisional site. The system therefore comprises the aforementioned catheter together with a soft-shell elastomeric infusion pump for the drug delivery. It can also be used for continuous nerve blocks.
The ON-Q™ pain relief system forms part of a multi-modal post-operative pain management approach with an over-arching goal of decreasing opioid use in a post-operative pain management context. This in turn leads to early ambulation, improvement in pain scores, a decrease in nausea and other narcotic side-effects.
