Etidocaine, a New Local Anesthetic

Different local anesthetics have different physicochemical properties that result in different biological effects. Etidocaine (Duranest) is said to be a long-acting anesthetic with a rapid onset of action, properties that are particularly useful in busy office practices in which lengthy operative procedures are performed. Clinical testing confirmed that this anesthetic does, indeed, work in this manner, which makes it a good addition to the varieties of local anesthetics available.
