Abstract:
This study was performed on 40 healthy volunteers, and examines the onset, duration, subjective pain on injection, and sympathetic effects of two strengths of Polocaine, a brand of mepivacaine hydrochloride. The study demonstrated that Polocaine is a safe and useful, short-acting, local anesthetic. Polocaine is also a useful agent in causing local vasodilation for periods of time as long as 24 hr.
