Mechanism of action

The drug combines bupivacaine, a long-acting local anesthetic, with a biodegradable collagen matrix that serves as a depot delivery system. The collagen matrix gradually releases bupivacaine over time, providing prolonged local anesthetic effect at the implantation site to reduce postoperative pain. This approach aims to minimize systemic exposure while maintaining localized anesthetic coverage during the critical postoperative period.
