What is the ON-Q Post-Op Pain Relief System?
ON-Q is a small high-tech balloon that holds local
anesthetic, a pain-numbing medication that automatically
soaks the surgical site, for up to five days. The
anesthetic is administered through a tiny specially-designed
tube that's inserted by your surgeon into the incision
site during your surgery.
How
does ON-Q work?
The ON-Q System is simple yet elegant, effective and
requires you to do nothing so you can concentrate on
your life while you recover comfortably and quickly.
* ON-Q is put in place by a surgeon during the operation.
* The small balloon is connected to a tiny specially-designed
tube that the surgeon places near the surgery site.
* ON-Q begins soaking the site with pain-numbing
medication immediately after surgery and works
continuously for up to five days.
* The ON-Q system can be worn discreetly and may
accompany you home.
* ON-Q works automatically.
* ON-Q keeps the incision site "numb", thus reducing
pain.
* The doctor, nurse or you easily removes the pump and
tube when all of the medicine has been delivered.
* You can get back to normal activities and body
functions faster than with pain-relieving narcotics
