Thinking of Buying...Ambulatory Pain Pumps

Payment and patient accessibility are key concerns.

Edited by John F. Dombrowski, MD, PC

Perineural local anesthesia infusion pumps, also known as pain pumps, represent a major step forward for post-operative pain management. These ambulatory pumps and their intrawound catheters show great promise in fast-tracking patient recovery and discharge times, smoothing out post-narcotic pain control and helping patients return to physical activity and avoid chronic pain.
