  • Formulations and methods for providing prolonged local anesthesia
    Patent number: 6921541
    Abstract: A formulation and methods for inducing sustained regional local anesthesia in a patient comprising a substrate comprising a local anesthetic and an effective amount of a biocompatible, biodegradable, controlled release material prolonging the release of the local anesthetic from the substrate to obtain a reversible local anesthesia when implanted or injected in a patient, and a pharmaceutically acceptable, i.e., non-toxic, non-glucocorticoid augmenting agent effective to prolong the duration of the local anesthesia for a time period longer than that obtainable from the substrate without the augmenting agent.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 9, 2002
    Date of Patent: July 26, 2005
    Assignee: Euro-Celtique S.A.
    Inventors: Mark Chasin, Paul Goldenheim, Richard Sackler, Joseph Tigner, Ronald M Burch
  • Methods for providing safe local anesthesia
