Nephron Pharmaceuticals Ketorolac Plastic Vial nephronpharm.com Non-opioid pain management was a huge topic at AAOS, as was the wave of drug shortages. Nephron stepped up with a solution that addresses both issues. The nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory pain man- agement drug Ketorolac, compelling as an alternative to opioids, is currently in short supply. Nephron, through its 503B outsourcing facili- ty, says it can more speedily provide the drug thanks to its "rapid sterili- ty" equipment. Perhaps more compellingly, the drug is delivered in a plastic vial, as opposed to glass. No needle is required; the product can be drawn up using a luer-lock syringe that also reduces leakage and splatter. M A Y 2 0 1 9 • O U T PA T I E N T S U R G E R Y. N E T • 8 9
