ON-Q* IS ON IT.

Opioid analgesics and short-duration single-shot nerve blocks may compromise surgical outcomes and patient experiences.3,16-18,20-21 ON-Q* Pain Relief System offers a new total solution for keeping pain management from compromising surgical success. Using a multimodal pain management approach, ON-Q* provides over 3 days of predictable pain relief while reducing opioid use.1-6 Patients can be both comfortable after surgery and capable of activity as they move through recovery.2,6-9,14,22-23 

With the ON-Q* Pain Relief System, patients:

  • Went home an average of 1.1 days sooner
  • Reported up to 69% lower pain scores
  • Were up to 3x as likely to report high satisfaction scores
  • Are more likely to experience better pain management with fewer side effects
