Summary

This is a research study testing SABER-Bupivacaine (an experimental pain-relieving medication). SABER-Bupivacaine is designed to continuously deliver bupivacaine, a common local anesthetic, for a few days in order to treat local post-surgical pain. The purpose of this study is to investigate safety (if there are any side effects) associated with the use of SABER-Bupivacaine and how well it works in reducing pain and opioid-related side effects following shoulder surgery.
