Introducing the first Sterile Topical L.E.T. Gel from a 503B outsourcing facility
LET Gel is a topical anesthetic consisting of Lidocaine, EPINEPHrine, and Tetracaine which is commonly used in conjunction with suturing patients in hospital emergency rooms, urgent care centers, pediatrician offices or by other qualified health care providers.
Sterile Topical Gel
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.”
A topically applied analgesic solution containing lidocaine–EPINEPHrine–tetracaine with vasoconstrictive properties provides safe and effective pain control during wound repair using sutures.
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.
LET gel [...] possesses theoretical advantages for topical anesthesia during suturing of uncomplicated lacerations on the face and scalp in children.
