| If you’re like most people facing surgery, you’re probably concerned about pain afterwards. In fact, many people put off having an operation because they’re worried about a long and uncomfortable recovery. Now, there’s a better option to get you back on your feet faster after surgery – it’s called ON-Q. |
ON-Q is a post-surgical pain pump that delivers local anesthetic (pain numbing medicine) right to a targeted area. Using ON-Q can help reduce your need for narcotics which can have undesirable side-effects and slow your recovery. With ON-Q, patients ambulate faster, breathe more deeply, and return to normal daily life quicker.
Since ON-Q is non-narcotic, you feel better faster. Dr. Lester will have his anesthesiologist place an ON-Q catheter to act as a regional nerve block before your surgery starts. This will numb your limb so that when you awaken from surgery, you will be as comfortable as possible. For more information on this technique, please visit www.AskYourSurgeon.com.
