A member asked:
How large a dose of mepivacaine hci 3% is required for it to work on a serious wound?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: It depends more on the size of the wound. You didn't provide enough information to answer directly. I usually need less than 10 mL for most of the lacerations I repair in my emergency department.
