Reduced pain can increase patient mobility and contribute to faster recovery. The latex-free disposable pump, called DonJoy PCD, integrates a proprietary syringe reservoir with a mechanical driver. Gradient markings on the pump enable medical personnel and patients to monitor the amount of local anesthetic that is being administered. The pump is marketed by dj Orthopedics, Inc. (San Diego, CA, USA).

"As one of the leading suppliers of ambulatory pain management solutions for the orthopedic sports medicine market, we are pleased to introduce our new and improved system for surgeons and their patients,” said Les Cross, president and CEO of dj Orthopedics. The company will market the new device in a convenient sterile kit.
