Mepivacaine HCl 3% | 1.7mL Cartridge SDV

Mepivacaine HCl 3% | 1.7mL Cartridge SDV is a sterile, single-dose vial containing a local anesthetic solution designed for use in various medical and dental procedures. Mepivacaine Hydrochloride, the active ingredient, is a fast-acting local anesthetic known for its reliable pain-blocking capabilities. This solution is used primarily in situations where short- to medium-duration anesthesia is required, making it suitable for both minor surgical interventions and more extensive dental procedures.

Key Features:

1. Fast-Acting Anesthetic:
   • Mepivacaine HCl provides rapid onset of anesthesia, typically taking effect within 3 to 5 minutes after administration. This quick action allows healthcare providers to proceed with procedures without unnecessary delays.
2. Intermediate Duration of Action:
   • Offers a duration of anesthesia ranging from 1.5 to 2 hours for infiltrative anesthesia and up to 2.5 hours for nerve block anesthesia. This makes it ideal for procedures requiring intermediate pain management without the prolonged effects of longer-acting anesthetics.
3. Sterile Single-Dose Cartridge:
   • The 1.7mL cartridge is designed for single use, ensuring sterility and minimizing the risk of contamination. The convenient cartridge design is compatible with standard dental and medical syringe systems, allowing for ease of use in clinical settings.
4. No Vasoconstrictor Required:
   • Mepivacaine HCl 3% does not contain a vasoconstrictor, which reduces the risk of potential side effects associated with vasoconstrictors, such as increased heart rate or hypertension. This makes it a preferred choice for patients with contraindications to vasoconstrictors.
5. Versatile Applications:
   • Suitable for various types of anesthesia, including local infiltration, peripheral nerve blocks, and dental anesthesia. This versatility allows it to be used in a wide range of medical and dental procedures, from minor surgeries to routine dental work.
6. Clear, Colorless Solution:
   • The solution is clear and colorless, ensuring easy inspection for particulate matter or discoloration before use. This transparency provides an additional safety measure for healthcare professionals.
7. Minimal Systemic Toxicity:
   • Mepivacaine is less likely to cause systemic toxicity compared to other local anesthetics, making it a safer option for a broad patient population. Its lower potential for toxicity contributes to its widespread use in clinical practice.
