You care about patient safety, which is why you need the new Sterile Topical L.E.T. Gel

In a 2019 Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warning, the agency shared significant concerns and dangers of using non-sterile anesthetic for wound care. An FDA approved recall notification states:

“… non-sterile product has the potential to result in an increased chance of infection at the site of administration during open wound care. The use of this or other non-sterile products in wound treatment may increase the risk of infection, especially for immunocompromised patients, the elderly, or children.”
FSS leveraged pharmaceutical expertise spanning three decades to quickly develop the first Sterile Topical LET Gel in the industry – listening to both customer needs and the FDA. Other suppliers continue to offer non-sterile LET Gel at risk.

Treating minor lacerations with lidocaine–epinephrine–tetracaine before wound closure with tissue adhesive reduced ratings of pain and increased the proportion of pain-free repairs among children aged 3 months to 17 years.

FSS' product labels clearly display critical information:
• Presentation specifications
