Amethocaine gel is a recently developed formulation of amethocaine, designed to provide percutaneous local anaesthesia. Its pharmacological characteristics coupled with a phase-change gel formulation may confer therapeutic advantages over existing preparations. Percutaneous local anaesthesia has increasing relevance in analgesia for paediatric procedures and superficial surgical operations.
