Portable transdermal administration patch apparatus and preparation method thereof
A portable transdermal administration patch apparatus comprises a communication control device and a pharmaceutical device which is fixed to and arranged at a lower end of the communication control device and electrically connected to the communication control device. The communication control device is formed of a micro-battery, a wireless control device and a micro-controller which are electrically connected. The preparation of the patch apparatus is achieved by: the preparation of medicinal patches and non-medicinal patches, the mounting of electrodes, interfacing with a micro-controller, and the communication control system, and starting administration. The transdermal apparatus is wearable and can be remotely controlled, and is convenient for administration, in particular, for the situations of daily administration for elderly patients with chronic illness and when there are a larger number of admitted inpatients, where a nurse can pre-set the administration time and dose, thus saving time and efforts of medical staff.
Kit for delivery of an active compound into the skin
A kit for enabling delivery of an active compound to the skin for penetration into the skin, a delivery device for delivering an active compound, and a method of delivery of an active compound are provided. An active compound delivery kit for enabling delivery of an active compound into the skin of a subject includes an arrangement for providing a pathway into a biological barrier of a subject in an application zone, an active compound provided in dry form, and a delivery device for delivery of dissolved active compound to the application zone. Provision of a pathway into the biological barrier, preferably skin, is provided and the active compound applied in optimum form within a short time frame after forming the pathway ensuring treatment of the desired skin cells is optimised.
Apparatus and process for continuously manufacturing microneedles
The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a process which can continuously produce microneedles using a conveyor system and decomposition or vacuum. By using the microneedle production method and apparatus according to the present disclosure, continuous mass production of microneedles is available, and therefore it is possible to reduce the input of manpower and produce a large amount of products compared to the conventional production method.
Digital microfluidic delivery device
An active molecule delivery system whereby active molecules can be released on demand and/or a variety of different active molecules can be delivered from the same system and/or different concentrations of active molecules can be delivered from the same system. The invention is well-suited for delivering pharmaceuticals to patients transdermally. In some embodiments, the system includes two separate reservoirs and a mixing area thereby allowing precursors to be mixed immediately before transdermal delivery.
ACTIVE MICRONEEDLES FOR ENHANCED PAYLOAD UPTAKE
Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for in situ payload delivery via a degradable microneedle. In some aspects, a microneedle therapeutic payload delivery device includes a substrate; an activation particle; and one or more degradable microneedle structures coupled to the substrate and including a polymeric matrix structured to embed the activation microparticle and one or more therapeutic payloads, the one or more degradable microneedle structures each including an exterior wall spanning outward from a base surface and forming an apex at a terminus point of the exterior wall, wherein the polymeric matrix of a microneedle structure of the one or more degradable microneedle structures is degradable under an environmental parameter of a biofluid surrounding the microneedle structure to dissolve and allow the one or more therapeutic payloads and the activation particle to the surrounding biofluid.
ROBOTIC TATTOOING MACHINE WITH AN OPTICAL TATTOO ANALYZER TO ANALYZE TATTOOS ASSOCIATED WITH NON-FUNGIBLE TOKENS
Art Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are typically associated with the ownership of the digital art. NFTs can be used in the field of tattooing to manage a tattoo client, art generation, art conversion into tattoo instructions, manage payment of stakeholders, allow a client to buy and sell tattoos in a secondary market, book/manage tattoo sessions, or combinations thereof. An NFT structure allows for the certification of ownership. For the context of tattooing, a smart contract may be used to track ownership of the digital design rendition of the tattoo and tattooing information. The NFT smart contract may contain the rights for the execution of the tattoo, which may allow one or many applications of a tattoo rendition of the NFT digital design, such right being consumed in the process of successive executions until the NFT may not contain any rights associated with tattooing.
NEEDLE IMPROVEMENTS FOR DRUG DELIVERY USING TATTOO MACHINES
This invention privilege patent belongs to the field of medicine and surgical instruments, and is intended to provide a new route of drug administration through needles plated with specific metals, aiming at better drug distribution and absorption upon administration, more precisely in the eyeball and/or on the patient's skin; to which the product has been originally improved in order to increase its efficacy in relation to other means of drug delivery known in the medical field, especially in skin, mucous and ocular diseases; it is an improvement that allows drug delivery to the skin and/or subcutaneous tissue, by means of a duly modified tattoo machine, which instead of ink, uses drugs, as a product to be inserted in the skin; in addition, this invention can be used to administer drugs directly to a person's eyeball, offering great practicality and agility to surgical procedures.
Microneedle patches and methods
Microneedle patches and systems, and methods for use of such patches and systems. In one aspect, a microneedle patch is provided including a tab portion for handling the microneedle patch. In another aspect, a system is provided including a microneedle patch and a tray for housing the microneedle patch. In still another aspect, various indicators providing for providing feedback prior to, during, and after administration of the microneedle patch are provided. Advantageously, the described microneedle patches and systems provide improved handling and ease of application of the microneedle patches to skin for the delivery of therapeutic agents.
Implantable nanochannel delivery devices
An implantable device comprising a nanochanneled membrane is described. The device uses nanofluidics to control the delivery of diagnostic and/or therapeutic agents intratumorally. The devices can be used for chemotherapy, radiosensitization, immunomodulation, and imaging contrast.
Drug delivery device and methods having a retaining member
Various embodiments of a device, a kit and method for delivering a drug depot are disclosed. The device comprises a housing including a lower body, an upper body, a ring member; and a drug cartridge. The lower body defines a lower body channel. The upper body defines an upper body channel. The drug cartridge defines a depot channel. The ring member is disposed extending upward from an annular step surface of the lower body toward a housing upper end. The ring member includes indicia indicating a characteristic of one or more drug depots in the drug cartridge. A plunger has a push rod for expelling the drug depot through the cannula to a site in the patient. A kit comprises the above components. A method includes assembling the components including selecting a ring member having indicia corresponding to one or more drug depots in the drug cartridge.
