A better patient experience for you

At Watertown Regional Medical Center, we continually introduce new advances in medicine to improve your experience at our hospital and help you achieve better quality of life after you leave. Continuous non-narcotic, nerve block pain management significantly reduces your pain and allows you to return home with better motion and higher activity levels.

Block your pain during and after surgery

If you have surgery at Watertown Regional Medical Center, you can look forward to less pain, greater comfort and a smoother return to activity thanks to continuous nerve block technology, an advanced pain relief technique.

This cutting edge technology literally blocks your pain during and after surgery with a balloon-like pump that is filled with anesthetic medicine and attached to a tiny tube or catheter. The pump continuously and automatically delivers a non-narcotic medication through the catheter, stopping any pain during surgery. After your surgery, the continuous nerve block continues to provide pain relief, improving your comfort to help you concentrate on healing and returning to your active life.
