Measure
EXPAREL 1.3 % in 20 ML Injection
EXPAREL (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension, 20 mL single use vial, 1.3% \[13.3 mg/mL\]) is a liposome injection of bupivacaine, an amide local anesthetic, indicated for single-dose infiltration into the surgical site to produce postsurgical analgesia. EXPAREL dosage is based on the following factors: * size of surgical site * volume required to cover the area * individual patient factors that may impact the safety of an amide local anesthetic * maximum doe of 266 mg (20 mL) EXPAREL 1.3 % in 20 ML Injection: EXPAREL single shot dose given as an analgesia for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery.
