Exclusion Criteria: * Has known hypersensitivity to amide local anesthetics, opioids or bovine products, or to inactive ingredients of the test article. * Has 1 of the following surgical procedures planned: total abdominal hysterectomy, omentectomy or surgical procedure for staging cancer. * Requires the use of Seprafilm® or other absorbable adhesion barriers for the GI surgery. Requires any additional surgical procedures either related or unrelated to the GI surgery during the same hospitalization. * Is required to receive neuraxial (spinal or epidural) opioid analgesics during the study. * Has cardiac arrhythmia or atrioventricular (AV) conduction disorders. * Concomitantly uses antiarrhythmics (eg, amiodarone), propranolol or strong/moderate cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 inhibitors or inducers (eg, macrolide antibiotics and grapefruit juice). * Has used long acting analgesics within 24 hours of surgery. Short acting analgesics such as acetaminophen may be used on the day of surgery but are subject to preoperative restrictions for oral intake. * Has used aspirin or aspirin containing products within 7 days of surgery.
