Innovations with Purpose
From pain management to respiratory and digestive care, our breakthrough medical solutions are focused on results.
ACUTE PAIN MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS
Innovative Surgical Site and Regional Anaesthesia Pain Management
With the ON-Q*, Clinicians May Reduce:
- Postoperative pain and nausea1,9
- Recovery Time1-4
- Risk of infection – pumps are single use, one pump per patient
- Unplanned hospital admissions following outpatient procedures14,15
Our Acute Pain Management Solutions Include:
- ON-Q* Pain Management Pumps
- ON-Q* Tunneler Sheaths

Chronic Pain Management Solutions
First and Only Radiofrequency Treatment Cleared to Relieve OA Knee Pain.
COOLIEF* Cooled Radiofrequency (RF) is the only currently known thermal radiofrequency system using water-cooled technology to deactivate pain-causing sensory nerves. Safely delivering more RF energy through water-cooled electrodes creates large-volume, spherically-shaped lesions that distally-project 45% beyond the probe’s tip to enable angle independence of the probe.
Our Chronic Pain Management Solutions Include:
- Radiofrequency Generator
- COOLIEF* Multi-Cooled RF Kits
- COOLIEF* Probe Kits
- RF Cannulas – straight and curved
- Grounding pads

RESPIRATORY HEALTH SOLUTIONS
Consistent. Comprehensive. Protective against VAE.
Our respiratory products and content can help patients receive the quality care they need whether at home or in the hospital. Working with clinical care clinicians we’ve developed a wide range of important respiratory products designed to help facilitate best practices of respiratory care with safety, comfort, and convenience a priority for both clinicians and patients.
Our Respiratory Health Solutions Include:
- The MICROCUFF* Subglottic Suctioning Adult Endotracheal Tube, which keeps the suction circuit closed to support patient safety measures that are designed to minimize the risk of subjecting patients and healthcare workers to potentially harmful bacteria.
- BALLARD* Closed Suction Systems for Adults and Neonates/Paediatrics
- BALLARD* Multi-Access Port (MAP) Catheters for Adults and Neonates/Paediatrics
- BALLARD* Turbo-Cleaning Closed Suction Systems
- BALLARD* Oral Care Kits that are easy to use and designed to promote oral care compliance, enabling patients to follow protocol and require less maintenance than previously used suction tools.
- BALLARD* Mini-BAL Sampling Catheter safely samples a patient’s lower respiratory tract secretions, giving physicians the data they need to make an accurate lung infection diagnosis and prescribe targeted antibiotic treatment.16
- Multi-Access Port Closed Suction System with a compact rotating manifold that provides multiple ports to access the patient’s airway without jeopardizing integrity of the closed circuit. A closed circuit helps you protect your patient from cross-contamination and ventilator associated events (VAE).
