The client for this collaboration is from Brazil. They have previously sourced Tetracaine HCL(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetracaine) from China multiple times, but each time, customs inspection issues arose during logistics and transportation, leading to delays or seizures of the goods, which greatly inconvenienced their normal business operations. After extensive research and comparison, the client reached out to our BLOOM TECH, expressing their need to purchase Tetracaine HCL.
After detailed communication, the client confirmed an order for 10kg of Tetracaine HCL, specifying a purity of HPLC >99.0%. They requested the product to be packaged in two 5kg parcels and shipped to the Riocentro district of Brazil. They also emphasized the need for a safe and reliable transportation method to ensure smooth customs clearance and delivery of the goods.
Based on the client's requirements, we provided detailed product pricing, specifications, and transportation plans. We clarified that the unit price for 10kg of product is $235/kg, with a total price of $2,350, plus a packaging fee of $150, making a total of $2,500. After the client confirmed the plan, due to account limitations, they were unable to pay the full amount of the purchase price in one lump sum.
After mutual consultation, the client agreed to pay two-thirds of the purchase price (approximately $1,665) upfront, and we will ship the first 5kg parcel. Once the client pays the remaining purchase price, we will arrange for the shipment of the remaining 5kg parcel. Currently, the first 5kg parcel has been delivered via FedEx and successfully signed for by the client. The client has promised to complete payment in the near future, and we will simultaneously prepare for the shipment of the second parcel.
Core uses of Tetracaine HCL
Tetracaine HCl, as a potent local anesthetic, exerts its anesthetic effect by blocking sodium channels on the nerve cell membrane and inhibiting the conduction of nerve impulses. Its anesthetic strength is 10 times that of procaine, and its toxicity is relatively high. Therefore, strict control of dosage and usage is required in clinical applications. Depending on different application scenarios, it is mainly used for the following purposes.
Medical clinical anesthesia field
In clinical medicine, Tetracaine HCL is one of the most widely used local anesthetics, covering diagnosis and surgery scenarios in multiple departments. In ophthalmology, it can be used for surface anesthesia in corneal endoscopy, corneal foreign body removal, intraocular pressure measurement, and other procedures to alleviate pain during examination and treatment. Its 1% isotonic solution can be directly applied to the eye, with rapid onset and minimal irritation to ocular tissues. In otolaryngology, 1%-2% Tetracaine HCL solution can be used for local anesthesia in the nasal and throat areas, suitable for endoscopy such as laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy, as well as related minor surgeries, reducing patient discomfort.
In urology, gynecology, anorectal surgery, and other fields, Tetracaine HCL gel can be used as a local lubricating anesthetic for intubation endoscopy or surgery in the urethra, vagina, anus, and rectum, such as cystoscopy, urethral dilation, induced abortion, and rectoscopy. It not only provides anesthesia but also reduces damage to the mucosa caused by instruments, enhancing the comfort of surgery and examination. In addition, Tetracaine HCL can also be used in epidural block, subarachnoid block, nerve conduction block, and other anesthesia methods, suitable for surgeries in the abdomen, lower limbs, and other areas. When combined with lidocaine hydrochloride, it can prolong the duration of anesthesia and enhance the anesthetic effect, widely used in surgical procedures.
Pharmaceutical preparation production field
Tetracaine HCL is a core raw material for various pharmaceutical preparations. Many pharmaceutical companies both domestically and internationally use it as a basis to produce various clinically commonly used anesthetic preparations, mainly including injections, mucilage, and creams. Among these, Tetracaine HCL injection is available in specifications such as 5ml:50mg, primarily used for various clinical block anesthesia and surface anesthesia. Tetracaine HCL mucilage is available in specifications such as 5g:0.05g and 8g:0.08g, suitable for lubrication anesthesia during cavity endoscopy and surgery.
In addition, there is Tetracaine HCL for injection (white loose block or powder), which needs to be dissolved before use and is suitable for various anesthesia scenarios. These preparations are widely used in medical institutions such as hospitals and clinics at all levels, and are indispensable drugs for clinical anesthesia. The stable supply of Tetracaine HCL directly guarantees the production and clinical use needs of related pharmaceutical preparations.
Other expanded application fields
In addition to the core medical and pharmaceutical fields, Tetracaine HCL has extensive applications in other areas. In the beauty industry, such as tattoos and eyebrow tattoos, Tetracaine HCL gel can be used as a soothing cream, effectively alleviating the pain during these procedures. Its national drug approval ensures safety and has gained widespread recognition in the beauty industry. In the veterinary field, Tetracaine HCL can be used for local anesthesia in animals, suitable for minor surgeries and examinations on pets and livestock, such as skin suturing in pets and eye examinations in livestock, helping to reduce animal suffering. Furthermore, in some industrial fields, Tetracaine HCL can also be used as a chemical reagent for related scientific research experiments and product development, supporting technological advancements in these areas.
