Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Effective postoperative pain control to promote improved healing, faster patient mobilization, shortened hospital stays, and reduced healthcare costs.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Effective postoperative pain control is a critical element in patient recovery, as the majority of patients may experience significant pain, particularly in the first few days following surgery. Appropriate postoperative pain management contributes to improved healing, faster patient mobilization, shortened hospital stays, and reduced healthcare costs.

Bupivacaine HCl

100 mg Bupivacaine HCl (e.g., Marcaine with epinephrine 1:200,000) is the reference-listed drug for bupivacaine and contains the same active, local anesthetic as SKY0402.

A single dose of study drug was administered intraoperatively (at the end of surgery) via local infiltration.
