Advances in synthetic materials and skin patch designs have led to transdermal drug delivery products that are more esthetically acceptable and that are capable of delivering sustained dosing of active compounds for several days in a smaller package......more

To expand the limits of transdermal drug delivery, developers are employing microporation techniques and energy sources such as ultrasound, heat and electrical current to affect active transport through the skin. These techniques can increase the upper molecular size limit dramatically........more

Advances in the processing of materials on a micro-scale have led to the development and introduction of devices that employ very small needles – microneedles – that  have significant potential in devices for diagnostics, healthcare monitoring and drug delivery by mechanically  ........more

To expand the limits of transdermal drug delivery, developers are employing  electrical current to affect active transport through the skin. This technique can increase the upper molecular size limit dramatically, opening up a host of opportunities for transdermal delivery. Iontophoresis products are ........more
