Summary

This study tests TLC590, an extended-release version of the numbing drug ropivacaine, to see how well it controls pain after different surgeries like bunion removal, hernia repair, breast augmentation, tummy tuck, and knee replacement. About 120 adults aged 18 to 70 will receive one of several doses. Researchers will measure how the drug moves through the body, its safety, and the best dose. The goal is to find a longer-lasting pain relief option that reduces the need for frequent pain medication.
