Manage pain and minimize opioids after foot and ankle surgery
Superior PAIN CONTROL vs bupivacaine HCI cumulative pain scores (P<0.00001)
61% fewer opioids* total postsurgical opioid consumption (P<0.00001)
The sciatic nerve block in the popliteal fossa pivotal trial investigated EXPAREL versus bupivacaine HCl administered via sciatic nerve block in the popliteal fossa in participants undergoing bunionectomy, a common and well-validated surgical model often used to study postsurgical pain for foot and ankle procedures. Prior to the surgical procedure, patients received 133 mg (10 mL) of EXPAREL mixed with 20 mL saline OR 50 mg (20 mL) of 0.25% bupivacaine HCl mixed with 10 mL saline via sciatic nerve block in the popliteal fossa. All patients received 100 mg (20 mL) of 0.5% immediate-release bupivacaine HCl as a Mayo field block after study drug administration
*The clinical benefit of the decrease in opioid consumption was not demonstrated in the pivotal trials.
For adults, a maximum dose of 266 mg (20 mL) is recommended, based on:
For pediatric patients aged 6 to less than 17 years, dosing is weight based: 4 mg/kg (up to a maximum of 266 mg)
For interscalene brachial plexus nerve block in adults, the recommended dose is 133 mg (10 mL), based on a study of patients undergoing rotator cuff repair or total shoulder arthroplasty
For adductor canal block in adults, the recommended dose is 133 mg (10 mL) admixed with 50 mg (10 mL) 0.5% bupivacaine HCl, for a total volume of 20 mL, based on a study of patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty
For sciatic nerve block in the popliteal fossa in adults, the recommended dose is 133 mg (10 mL), based on a study of patients undergoing bunionectomy

EXPAREL® (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension) is indicated to produce postsurgical local analgesia via infiltration in patients aged 6 years and older and regional analgesia in adults via an interscalene brachial plexus nerve block, sciatic nerve block in the popliteal fossa, and an adductor canal block. Safety and efficacy have not been established in other nerve blocks.
