We remain well positioned for near- and long-term value creation as we grow revenue through increased market penetration, expansion into new indications, and enhanced reimbursement while simultaneously advancing new product development opportunities,” said Dave Stack, chairman and chief executive officer of Pacira BioSciences. “Even with continued near-term volatility in the marketplace, we remain confident in steady double-digit growth potential for EXPAREL and our entire portfolio of non-opioid pain management solutions as we expect our newly announced partnerships, such as our agreement with Sevāredent for oral and maxillofacial procedures, to take hold and begin to deliver on the promise of these collaborations.
