"I
think the ON-Q System is much more effective in handling
post-operative pain than our conventional measures. These
include either outpatients using oral narcotics, or in my
opinion as a superior system, PCA continuous flow narcotic
intervention."
Dr.
Arthur H. Sanford
Scripps Clinical Medical Group
"[With
patients using ON-Q] we're not dealing with nausea and vomiting
and dizziness and all the side effects of PO [oral] narcotics.
I'd say 85% of these people are taking no oral analgesic."
Dr.
John D. Corbitt Jr.
General Surgeon
 "I
think the benefits of ON-Q are dramatic relief of pain and
comfort for the patient. So you're doing a surgical procedure
without pain. The other dramatic impact has been the lack
of need for narcotics post-operatively. This eliminates
all the side effects associated with narcotics. This enables
the patient to ambulate and become more active and get back
to normal quicker if they're not under the influence of
narcotics."

"There
was a gentleman whose wife was in a wheelchair and he took
care of her. And he said, 'I cannot have the inability to
care for her. I can only cover myself for a couple of days.
Are you sure I'm going to be able to do this.' I said you're
going to be fine. And this patient was fine. It's nice to
be able to say this to a patient. Yes, I'm 100% sure that
you're going to be pain-free in 3-4 days and you can take
care of her. I couldn't say that before."
Ann
Boyd
Certified Post-Anesthesia Nurse
"Obviously
I believe that ON-Q works or I would not use it. I like
to do things that are easy, simple and quick."
David
Evans
Cardiothoracic Surgeon
"The
less medication you use is obviously better for the patient
in the areas of respiratory and returning to the activities
of daily living."
Kate
Moses
RN, Certified OR Nurse
"I've
had the opportunity to meet the President and Vice Presidents
of I-Flow Corporation at an employee monthly birthday breakfast.
I was intrigued by the level of care they displayed to their
employees. It is this type of genuine care and service that
I received from I-Flow's sales representative. As a surgical
technician, I've assisted surgeons with the implementation
of the ON-Q Post-Op Pain Relief System on a difficult ankle
case in the middle of the night, and the professionalism,
caring and excellent service from the I-Flow representative
was greatly appreciated.
"
The ON-Q System is very easy to use by the OR nursing staff
and surgeon which means a smoother operation for the patient.
It is also lightweight, very easy for the patient to manage
and most important, an excellent pain-relief system for
the patient. The ON-Q System is cost effective for the OR,
making it an excellent product with a great growth potential."
Alex
Surgical Technician
"I
have used the ON-Q Post-Op Pain catheters for my plastic
surgery patients and have found the results extremely significant.
The pain relief offered to patients is consistent and extraordinary.
I perform abdominoplasties on an outpatient basis. A recent
patient, for whom I used the ON-Q pain catheter, mentioned
to me on her first post operative night, while sitting in
her kitchen, that she 'did not even feel as though an operation
had been performed'. Of significance is the fact that when
my own mother had a general surgical procedure performed
last month, I requested that her surgeon use the ON-Q pain
catheter for her recovery. Both the surgeon and my mother
were exceedingly impressed with the results."
