Desirudin is used to prevent deep venous thrombosis, a condition in which harmful blood clots form in the blood vessels of the legs. These blood clots can travel to the lungs and can become lodged in the blood vessels of the lungs, causing a condition called pulmonary embolism. Desirudin is used for several days after hip replacement surgery, while you are unable to walk. It is during this time that blood clots are most likely to form.

Desirudin is available only with your doctor's prescription.

Exparel (bupivacaine) is an anesthetic (numbing medicine) that blocks nerve impulses in your body.

Exparel is used as a local (in only one area) anesthetic to numb an area of your body for a minor surgery such as bunion removal or hemorrhoid surgery.

Exparel is also used as a nerve block after surgery on your shoulder or upper arm, to provide pain relief to the area.
