Brief Summary

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

The aim of the study is to investigate how the combination of ropivacaine (a slow onset, long duration local anesthetic) with lidocaine (a rapid onset, shorter duration local anesthetic) affects the onset and duration of a lateral infraclavicular plexus brachialis (LIC) block in patients undergoing non-acute hand surgery.
