Description

Sensorcaine MDV 0.5% with Epinephrine 30 mL is a sterile injectable solution primarily used for local anesthesia. This formulation contains 0.5% bupivacaine, a potent amide-type anesthetic, and epinephrine, which acts as a vasoconstrictor to prolong the anesthetic effect and reduce systemic absorption. The presence of epinephrine also helps minimize bleeding at the site of injection, enhancing the quality of the procedure.

Bupivacaine works by blocking sodium channels in nerve fibers, inhibiting the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses, and providing prolonged analgesia. When used for local or regional anesthesia, it offers a longer duration of action compared to other local anesthetics. The addition of epinephrine extends the duration of anesthesia and improves the overall efficacy of the treatment.

This product is commonly utilized for various surgical procedures, including dental work, regional nerve blocks, and labor and delivery analgesia. It is injected into the tissues surrounding the nerve or surgical site, providing effective pain management during and after the procedure.
