Summary
To compare pain scores during laceration repair with first suture placement using
standardized visual analog scale (VAS) between 2 different topical local anesthetic
application techniques for using LET gel. Specifically, the investigators are studying if
applying LET gel 3 times, spaced 10 minutes apart (triple LET) provides superior anesthesia
to one 30 minute application (single LET). Single LET is the current standard method of
application.
