Description

Sensorcaine MDV 0.25% with Epinephrine 30mL is a local anesthetic solution that combines bupivacaine with epinephrine to provide effective pain management during surgical and medical procedures. The product comes in a 30 mL multidose vial, containing a 0.25% concentration of bupivacaine, a potent amide-type local anesthetic, and a small amount of epinephrine to prolong its anesthetic effect.

Bupivacaine works by blocking sodium channels in nerve fibers, preventing the propagation of nerve impulses, thereby leading to a loss of sensation in the targeted area. The addition of epinephrine enhances the action of bupivacaine by delaying its absorption into the bloodstream, which extends the duration of anesthesia and minimizes the potential for systemic side effects.

Sensorcaine MDV is typically administered through local infiltration, peripheral nerve blocks, or epidural injection, depending on the surgical procedure. It is commonly used for procedures involving the skin, soft tissues, and joints, as well as for regional anesthesia in more extensive surgeries.
