Pacira
Pacira BioSciences, Inc. is the holding company of Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The Company is focused on the development, manufacture, marketing, distribution and sale of non-opioid pain management and regenerative health solutions. Its product candidate, EXPAREL (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension) provides postsurgical analgesia and reduces the consumption of opioid medications. EXPAREL consists of bupivacaine, an amide-type local anesthetic, encapsulated in DepoFoam, an extended-release drug delivery technology, that delivers bupivacaine over time for extended analgesia. Its other product candidate, the iovera system is a non-opioid handheld cryoanalgesia device used to produce precise, controlled doses of cold temperature only to targeted nerves. The iovera system is complementary to EXPAREL as a non-opioid therapy that alleviates pain using a non-pharmacological nerve block to disrupt pain signals being transmitted to the brain from the site of injury or surgery.
