4. The length of surgical site incision should be around 15±3cms
5. Able and willing to comply with all study requirements
6. Subject doesn’t suffer from any significant co-morbidity which in the opinion of the investigator renders the patient unfit for the study’ American Society of Anesthesiologists [ASA] I-II
 
 
ExclusionCriteria 
Details  1. History of allergy to study related drug, which would preclude all the possible combinations, capable of providing usual care multimodal analgesia: other local anesthetics, morphine, oxycodone, fentanyl, paracetamol
2. Body weight < 50 kg or a body mass index ≥ 40 kg/m2
3. Clinically significant illness or surgery within 1 week prior to screening visit (including flu, flu like symptoms, diarrhea, vomiting, ongoing sepsis/bacterial infections)
4. Any skin lesion/abnormality at site of catheterization
5. Chronic pain, with or without long-term regular analgesic usage
6. History of substance abuse
7. Pregnant or breast-feeding females
8. Participants not able to discontinue the prohibited medications listed in the protocol within the allotted time before surgery and throughout their duration of participation in the study
• Monoamine oxidase inhibitors within the past 30 days
• Anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), neuroleptics, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), as well as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs; unless SSRIs have been prescribed for depression and/or anxiety and patients have been on a stable dose for at least 30 days prior to the screening visit)

10. Chronic, high-dose opioid use (greater than 20 mg oxycodone-equivalent opioid use daily within the 2 weeks prior to surgery and duration of use > 4 weeks)
11. Concurrent painful physical conditions that may require analgesic treatment in the postsurgical period for pain that is not strictly related to the lower abdominal surgery of this study as pain from these conditions may confound postsurgical assessments
12. Any opioid medications, NSAIDs, or aspirin (except for low-dose aspirin used for cardioprotection) within 24 hours of study drug administration

Brief Summary  

This is A Randomized, Open-label, Prospective, Comparative, Multi-centre, Parallel group, Active controlled, Phase III Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of the Ropivacaine Readyfusor 2mg/ml versus Ropivacaine Balloon Pump Infusor 2mg/ml as a continuous surgical site infusion for the Treatment of Post-Surgical Pain in lower abdominal laparotomy. Total 156 human subjects planned for open laparotomy surgeries will be enrolled into the study (104 in investigational & 52 in active comparator arm). The study has 48 hours of study treatment duration.

The use of Ropivacaine Readyfusor 2mg/ml as a continuous infusion at surgical site and for peripheral nerve block is well established in European countries as well as Australia. As discussed with DCGI, the safety and efficacy of Ropivacaine as a drug is well-established in India. This study, however, is designed for a comparative clinical trial with balloon pump infusor in Indian population.
