Zimmer® Ambulatory Pump

Stop the pain. Not the entire body. |

The Future of Pain Management Studies show that pain, not death, is the number one fear of patients facing surgery. The pain following orthopaedic surgery, including non-invasive procedures, is real. However, the pain is also localized at the surgical site. So why treat the entire body with systemic narcotics? The Zimmer Ambulatory Pump is designed to provide surgeons a better choice that gives patients effective pain management without the side effects of narcotics. It also gives physicians control of dosing with a multirate control module. ZAP is changing the way physicians across the country treat post-operative pain. |
