where the system would be appropriate, potential savings to the healthcare system could be billions of dollars.

The unique infection prevention capability of the system is enhanced by the ON-Q SilverSoaker catheter that is treated with an antimicrobial silver agent in nanotechnology form and has been shown in in-vitro testing to be 99.9 percent effective in decreasing bacteria and fungus commonly associated with hospital-acquired infections. Silver has long been known as an antimicrobial agent and is now used in many modern medical devices. In addition, when patients are treated with ON-Q, they often do not experience the immune-suppressive response of narcotics, which can essentially weaken patients and make it more difficult for their bodies to fight an infection.

Earhart, President and CEO of I-Flow Corporation. "We are extremely encouraged about the role ON-Q may now be able to play in infection prevention and surgical site care, potentially lowering healthcare cost across hospitals and health systems."
