We are planning to enter biopharmaceutical industry in near future. Polymer biopharmaceutical technology polymer Drug No activity loss during fabrication Fabrication High efficiency and stability of biopharmaceuticals Potential of delivering lipophilic drugs (arthritis etc. Maximization effect of anti-metabolism Drug encapsulating microneedle 17
Based on the target site, Microneedles are fabricated in solid, hollow and dissolving types. Microneedle types SOLID HOLLOW DISSOLVING Drugs are coated over the outer layer of microneedle Drugs are delivered by creating channels into skin Delivers liquid drugs via hollow channels Dissolves inside the skin upon penetration and releases the encapsulated drug 18
Currently, microneedle fabrication technologies are focused on cosmetics field. Our manufacturing technology can be extended to medical field.
