Hi James I just saw your post on Ike's thread. IFLO makes the devices not the pain relief substance correct? Any idea what the substance is and who it's made by? Niv Calvin: You're correct... IFLO makes the devices that deliver the pain medication... The particular medications used are prescribed by the doctors... Companies like Merck, Pfizer, and Eli Lilly make a variety of pain killing drugs... So, I imagine that all of their pain killing drugs are used in IFLO products... There are 39 million surgeries performed in the U.S. each year... The new 5 inch pain management catheter biz.yahoo.com gives IFLO a bigger share of this market... If you add in overseas surgeries we are probably talking about about 100 million per year... Jim

Calvin I found this with regard to your question as to what drug is used in PainBuster. My assumption is that it is supplied by many pharmaceutical companies, since I couldn't find anything on it to the contrary. My find was lifted from a Surgical/Medical/New Terms Glossary used for medical transcription. A thorough search of the "P" section never did turn up PC2000. Maybe next year. SURGICAL/MEDICAL/NEW TERMS GLOSSARY mtdesk.com PainBuster? infusion pain management kit Disposable device provides continuous infusion of nonnarcotic local anesthetic (bupivacaine HCl) directly to an intraoperative site for postoperative relief of pain following orthopedic surgical procedures. Mfg: I-Flow Corporation; distributed by the DonJoy division of Smith & Nephew. Source: Business Wire - 6/03/98.
