IV Tramadol

Post-Operative Acute Pain Management

Many patients who undergo surgical procedures experience severe postoperative pain. IV Tramadol is being developed as a potential treatment for pain management following surgery, including abdominoplasty and bunionectomy.

Abdominoplasty, or more commonly referred to as a “tummy tuck,” is a cosmetic surgical procedure in which excess skin and fat is removed from the abdomen, resulting in a smoother and firmer abdomen. A bunionectomy is a surgical procedure to remove a bunion from a patient’s foot. Depending on the complexity of these surgeries, some patients will experience severe postoperative pain.
