Use of the Synera™ Patch for Local Anesthesia Before Vascular Access Procedures: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study

Abstract

A 20-minute application of Synera consistently provided clinically useful anesthesia for vascular access procedures, and appears to be well suited for topical dermal anesthesia due to its reduced time required to produce adequate anesthesia and high subject and investigator acceptance.
