About Your InfuBLOCK® Pain Pump
We’re here for you every step of the way.
InfuBLOCK is a postoperative, non-narcotic pain relief system that delivers local anesthetic to or near the surgical site. This is a pain minimizing therapy that delivers an anesthetic (numbing) medicine to a nerve. Your InfuBLOCK pain pump will continuously deliver a local anesthetic medication to block the pain in the area of your procedure.

- Skin rash or hives
- Mouth, lips, or tongue numbness or tingling
