Learning Objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Describe the formulation of the local anaesthetic commonly used for subdermal implant (SDI) insertion and removal

- Recognise the risks of the local anaesthetic when used in SDI insertion and removal

Local anaesthetics work by blocking the nerves from a part of the body so that pain signals cannot reach the brain. They do this by blocking voltage-gated sodium channels from inside nerve axons to prevent conduction along the nerve.
