ON-Q
is put in place by your surgeon and provides continuous
pain relief in those important first days after surgery.
ON-Q
is a small high-tech balloon that holds local anesthetic
(a pain numbing medication) and delivers it through a tiny
specially-designed tube directly into the surgical incision
site. The medication is delivered continuously and slowly
for up to five days after surgery.
Similar
to your dentist injecting novocaine into your mouth to create
a numbing effect, ON-Q soaks the surgical site to create
a numbing effect. Because ON-Q directs the medication only
into the area where you have pain, the rest of your body
stays in your normal, comfortable state.
The
result? Your pain is relieved and you avoid the nausea,
breathing problems, drowsiness, grogginess, constipation
or sleepiness - all of which are side effects of narcotic
painkillers.
Feel
better faster with ON-Q. Less
pain, more smiles.
