  • Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥18 and ≤40 kg/m2

Exclusion

  • Allergy, hypersensitivity, intolerance, or contraindication to any of the study medications for which an alternative is not named in the protocol (e.g., amide-type local anesthetics, opioids, bupivacaine HCl, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs \[NSAIDs\])
  • Concurrent painful physical condition that may require analgesic treatment (such as long-term, consistent use of opioids) in the post dosing period for pain and which, in the investigator's opinion, may confound the post dosing assessments
  • History of, suspected, or known addiction to or abuse of illicit drug(s), prescription medicine(s), or alcohol within the past 2 years
  • Administration of an investigational drug within 30 days or 5 elimination half-lives of such investigational drug, whichever is longer, prior to study drug administration, or planned administration of another investigational product or procedure during the subject's participation in this study

  • Uncontrolled anxiety, schizophrenia, or other psychiatric disorder that, in the opinion of the investigator, could interfere with study assessments or compliance
  • Currently pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant during the study
  • Clinically significant medical disease that, in the opinion of the investigator, would make participation in a clinical study inappropriate. This includes diabetic neuropathy, coagulation or bleeding disorders, severe peripheral vascular disease, renal insufficiency, hepatic dysfunction or other conditions that would constitute a contraindication to participation in the study.
  • Currently on a neuromodulating agent neuroleptic agent (e.g., gabapentin, pregabalin \[Lyrica\], duloxetine \[Cymbalta\], etc.)
