ON-Q System NRFit

The ON-Q NRFit® Pain Relief System is a pain management solution that has been clinically proven to reduce pain and opioid consumption in a range of surgical specialties.

The elastomeric pump versions are available in a variety of fill volumes and flow rate options providing post-operative pain relief.

The ON-Q System with SELECT-A-FLOW (SAF) allows to change the flow rate according to the individual need of the patient.

The ON-Q System with Bolus (ONDEMAND) delivers a continuous infusion (basal) and allows fixed boluses to be delivered on demand by patient.
