L O Pettersson, J O Strömbeck

    Scandinavian Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
    |January 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Topical ketocaine (Ane-Pad) provided effective anesthesia for dermabrasion in 20 patients. Most procedures were painless, with minimal side effects, demonstrating its potential for skin anesthesia.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Anesthesiology

    Background:

    • Dermabrasion requires effective local anesthesia.
    • Topical anesthetic solutions offer a less invasive approach compared to injections.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of an epicutaneously applied ketocaine solution (Ane-Pad) for anesthesia during dermabrasion.

    Main Methods:

    • A solution containing ketocaine was applied topically (Ane-Pad) for 60 minutes to 20 patients undergoing dermabrasion.
    • Foam plastic was used to ensure good contact on uneven skin surfaces.
    • Dosage ranged from 0.8 to 2.5 g of ketocaine.

    Main Results:

    • 15 out of 20 patients experienced completely painless procedures.
    • No patient required complementary anesthesia.
    • Common side effects included erythema and edema, which were not bothersome.
    • Four patients reported an intense sensation of warmth, and one reported mild local pain.

    Conclusions:

    • Epicutaneous application of ketocaine (Ane-Pad) is an effective method for achieving anesthesia in dermabrasion.
    • The treatment is well-tolerated, with manageable side effects.
    • This topical anesthetic shows promise for pain management in dermatological procedures.
