Therapies : Regional Anesthesia

Continuous local anesthetic post-operative pain pumps

Local anesthesia is the twenty-first century approach to treating post-operative pain. Similar to techniques used by Dentists for decades, post operative local anesthesia numbs only a specific area of the body. In continuous local anesthesia, a surgeon uses a pain pump and a local anesthetic to keep the surgical site numb during a patient’s recovery.

Studies site that local anesthesia using pain pumps can lead to:

• Better patient satisfaction
• Reduced pain scores
• Reduced consumption of opioids
• Reduced incidence of nausea and vomiting
• Reduced length of stays in hospitals

Curlin offers a full line of products for local or regional anesthesia. They include:

• ACCUFUSER® and ACCUFUSER® PLUS disposable elastomeric pumps
• beeLINE® syringe style disposable pumps
• AutoMed® 3000 and 3200 single patient electronic pumps
• AutoMed® 3400 electronic pumps

ACCUFUSER® and ACCUFUSER® Plus

The ACCUFUSER® pump is a mechanical “balloon” pump that delivers a continuous fixed rate infusion to the surgical site or peripheral nerves through a catheter. The ACCUFUSER® PLUS includes a bolus-dose button that allows patients to self-deliver additional local anesthetic for enhanced pain relief and satisfaction. The non-latex ACCUFUSER® pump is safe, simple and lightweight, so that patients can take it with them anywhere they go during their recovery.
