April 2026 - Policy momentum around non-opioid pain relief is real
A recent perspective from James Pinkerton captured something we feel strongly at SentryX: the policy momentum around non-opioid pain relief is real, and it matters for patients.
After major surgery, opioids remain the standard. The risks of that approach are well documented, yet alternatives in this critical recovery window are limited. We are working hard to be part of the shift, by developing surgical pain blockers that treat pain at the surgical site itself, reducing the need for opioids during the most painful first days after surgery.
