Ambu pain management solutions

The ACTion pain pumps are unique single-use pumps for post-operative pain management and are often used in connection with surgeries that will result in severe and prolonged post-operative pain. The use of pain pumps has been growing as they provide excellent pain management and can substantially reduce the need for narcotics that are typically used to manage post-operative pain, in many patients. Consequently, patients do not experience as many of the related side effects associated with narcotics, such as post-operative nausea, vomiting and respiratory depression. In addition, the use of pain pumps has been shown to improve ambulation and rehabilitation leading to faster discharge of patients.
