Liposomal Bupivacaine (Bupigel) Demonstrates Minimal Local Nerve Toxicity in a Rabbit Functional Model
Abstract: We previously reported the development of a novel formulation of an ultra-long-acting local anesthetic based on bupivacaine encapsulated in large multivesicular liposomes (Bupisomes) embedded in hydrogel. This formulation (Bupigel) prolonged bupivacaine release from the formulation in dissolution-like studies in vitro and analgesia in vivo in mouse, rat, and pig models. In this study we ...
