Projectdetails

Introduction

There is a troubling lack of effective pain treatments after major surgery. Especially after musculoskeletal procedures, patients experience debilitating pain now treated with opioids. Opioids provide insufficient pain relief, have many toxic side effects, and are highly addictive.

Impact of Pain and Opioids

Pain and opioid-related side effects impede early mobilization and recovery and are the primary reasons for extended hospital stays.

Project Overview

SentryX is developing revolutionary drug delivery technology to extend the effects of a well-established local pain blocker called bupivacaine. Its initial use case in spine fixation surgery, Bupi-Ring, delivers bupivacaine directly to the surgical site for more than 72 hours without changing the existing surgical workflow.

Benefits of Bupi-Ring

Non-opioid local pain relief in this critical early phase of recovery will:

  • Promote early mobilization
  • Shorten hospital stays
  • Prevent complications
  • Save costs

Conclusion

This project will demonstrate Bupi-Ring’s safety and efficacy in humans for the first time.
