Anaesthesia and analgesia
Anaesthesia is a decisive factor in surgery and in intensive care. It prevents pain and enables a wide range of medical procedures. Great anaesthesia can help to save time - of patients and of medical staff.
At B. Braun, our real job is helping you do yours. That is why we have built up a diverse portfolio of innovative products - to offer experts like you everything necessary to make anesthesia as quick, simple and safe as possible.

When your patient can be discharged earlier post surgery due to fast recovery, time-saving expands your possibilities: you can perform more surgeries and reduce patient wait time.1-6 Better resource management is facilitated and post-operative care becomes more efficient.3,6
At B. Braun, we work every day to design anesthetics with improved safety and efficiency. In the past decades, we have made anesthetics safer to handle, simpler to store, easier to infuse and less painful to receive.
In this webinar we dive into the currently available knowledge on Multimodal Pain Management as well as its application in the clinical practice.
Insights from our latest Pharma Talks webinar
Click hereIndividualized anesthesia and analgesia are not just bonuses, they are the new standards of care.7-9
And our portfolio helps you stay on top of evolving standards by implenting key therapeutic guidelines to ultimately transform what is possible in anesthesia.
Pre-, intra- and postoperative process analysis
For over 70 years, B. Braun has been one of the leaders in regional anesthesia. With our global presence in 56 countries and a full range of solutions, we have seen the difference regional anaesthesia makes within the peri-operative care process.
Our wide range of safety products help to prevent sharps or needle stick injuries10,11 and errors in dispensing and administering of a drug, to improve safety in patient treatment.
Advocate for safe use of anesthesia
A simple, user-friendly intravenous delivery method for anaesthesia care: Total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA)12 and target controlled infusion (TCI)13 offer several potential advantages over inhaled volatile anaesthesia.14-18
