Thanks

Appreciate the recent acknowledgement for work done with Cali Biosciences on developing another long-acting local anesthetic to stem the tide of the opioid crisis…

Dr. Todd Bertoch, an anesthesiologist who has participated in clinical trials of prior long-acting local anesthetics and a principal investigator in this study, said, "This is an important step; ropivacaine is generally considered safer than bupivacaine, and there are no long-acting ropivacaine options currently available to help our patients with their post-operative pain."  Dr. Erol Onel, Chief Medical Officer at CaliBio who has developed several other long-acting local anesthetics, agreed, "We need to do all that we can to help patients control or eliminate their post-operative pain, while continuing to chip away at the opioid crisis."
