  1. metycaine

    Metycaine is a type of local anesthetic that was used in medicine primarily in the early to mid 20th century. It worked by producing anesthesia in a small, specific area of the body to prevent any feeling of pain during medical procedures. However, usage of metycaine has largely been phased out due to the emergence of newer and safer anesthetics. The term now often refers to the historic usage of the anesthetic in medicine.
