InfuTronix | Nimbus Pain Pro
For regional anes-
thesia with continu-
ous peripheral nerve
blocks, this evolving
electronic pain
pump is both inex-
pensive and cus-
tomizable.
Essentially, it pro-
vides all the options
you want and want
your patients to
have. You control
the rate of infusion — whether boluses will be automatic or patient-
controlled (or both) — the length of the lockout between boluses
and so forth.
That versatility is helpful because different practitioners like differ-
ent approaches, and different settings are appropriate for different
procedures. For example, with interscalene catheters, a low, slow
infusion works best. But with TAP blocks, or adductor or femoral
blocks, an intermittent bolus might be better because it can provide
better spread.
No matter what procedure you use it for, at around $250, it's
extremely competitively priced, and it comes in both disposable and
reusable models.
• AROUND THE BLOCK The Nimbus Pain Pro is both versatile and affordable.
