Peripheral Nerve Catheter

A Peripheral Nerve Catheter is a medical device used to manage pain, often after surgery. It involves a thin, flexible tube placed near a nerve in the body, which delivers pain-relieving medication directly to the area. This method can help reduce reliance on oral painkillers and improve comfort during recovery. The catheter is typically inserted by an anesthesia specialist and can remain in place for several days, allowing for continuous pain relief. Ultimately, it aims to enhance healing and improve a patient’s overall experience after medical procedures.
