An advanced system for transdermal drug delivery envisioned as two major categories of products: TheraJect’s Microeedle Array Transdermal delivery system for drugs: DrugMAT/ and for vaccines: VaxMAT/.
Traditional transdermal drug delivery “patch” systems cannot deliver large molecules such as proteins and vaccines and are incapable of rapid delivery of small molecules such as pain or migraine related drugs.
DrugMAT and VaxMAT can deliver many drugs and vaccines including large molecules such as proteins and genetic material safely and painlessly through the skin with an elegantly simple and inexpensive proprietary technology.
This painless and efficient transdermal delivery technology can support a portfolio of large molecules for delivery without needle and syringe and it will also enable product differentiation and patent extension for existing molecules, large and small. |
