title: Adsorption of lidocaine into a plastic infusion balloon.
abstract: An infusion balloon is a well established device used to continuously supply drugs for pain management. In this study, we determined the concentration of lidocaine that flowed out of a balloon because the balloon is made from plastics that adsorb local anesthetics.
