Liposomal bupivacaine or Exparel (Pacira Biosciences) is a long-lasting nonopioid analgesic that was initially utilized as an infiltrative agent but has more recently become U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for use in interscalene brachial plexus nerve blockade as well as infiltrative blockade. Delivery in this form is reported to provide up to 72 hours of extended-release bupivacaine. Exparel's use as a regional anesthetic has also become increasingly common and has shown promise when utilized in Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction.
