$10.95

Description

Active Ingredient: Lidocaine Hydrochloride: A commonly used amide-type local anesthetic that works by stabilizing the neuronal membrane, thus preventing the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses.
Concentration: 1% (10 mg/mL), providing a standard concentration for various anesthetic procedures.
Volume: 30 mL per single-dose vial. This larger volume is suitable for procedures requiring a significant amount of anesthetic.
Single-Dose Vial (SDV): Designed for single use, ensuring sterility for each application.
Preservative Free: This is a crucial feature, as it means the solution does not contain methylparaben or other preservatives. This makes it suitable for sensitive procedures and patients, particularly for certain regional anesthetic techniques like epidural or spinal anesthesia where preservatives are contraindicated.
Sterile and Nonpyrogenic: Manufactured under strict conditions to be free from microorganisms and fever-producing substances.
Therapeutic Class: Classified as a local anesthetic and also has antiarrhythmic properties.
Generic Equivalent to Xylocaine®: Often cited as a generic equivalent to the brand-name product Xylocaine, providing a cost-effective option.
Storage: Typically stored at controlled room temperature (20° to 25°C or 68° to 77°F).

Local or Regional Anesthesia: Its primary use is to produce local or regional anesthesia. This includes:
- Infiltration techniques: Injecting the anesthetic directly into the tissue around the surgical site to numb a small area (e.g., for suturing a wound, removing a skin lesion, minor surgical procedures).
- Peripheral nerve blocks: Injecting near specific nerves to numb a larger area or extremity (e.g., dental procedures, hand surgery, foot surgery).
- Central neural techniques: Including epidural and caudal anesthesia, commonly used in labor and delivery, and for surgical procedures on the lower limbs or abdomen. The preservative-free formulation is essential for these applications.
Dental Procedures: Widely used by dentists for local anesthesia during fillings, extractions, root canals, and other oral surgeries.
Minor Surgical Procedures: For numbing the area during biopsies, cyst removals, laceration repairs, and other small-scale operations.
Diagnostic Procedures: Used to numb an area before certain diagnostic tests that might cause discomfort.
Emergency Medicine: For pain control and numbing during various emergency procedures, such as wound care, foreign body removal, or reduction of dislocations.
Pain Management: Can be used to provide temporary pain relief for acute localized pain.
