Pierrel Research announces the US launch of Orabloc (Articaine hydrochloride 4% with epinephrine 1:100,000 and Articaine hydrochloride 4% with epinephrine 1:200,000). Orabloc is a purer formulation of Articaine with epinephrine, an injectable dental anesthetic for routine dental procedures and oral surgery.
Orabloc offers the same rapid onset of action that dentists expect from existing Articaine: anesthesia within 1 to 9 minutes, with complete anesthesia lasting about 1 hour for infiltrations, up to 2 hours for nerve block. Additionally, the aseptic manufacturing process provides increased shelf life for Orabloc—up to 24 months at 25°C (77°F), compared to 18 months shelf life for terminally sterilized Articaine.
