Post-surgical Pain Relief. Right ON-Q.
If you’re like most people facing surgery, you’re probably concerned about the 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. And since ON-Q is non-narcotic, you feel better faster.
Surgeons have trusted and used ON-Q on over a million patients. Isn’t it time you asked your surgeon about ON-Q?
ON-Q is indicated for:
- Significantly better pain relief than narcotics alone
- Significantly less need for narcotics
