Implanting new ideas into next generation depot syringes
|
Controlled release mechanisms for drug delivery have been the focus of continuous improvement over the past 20 years. Subcutaneous implants present the advantages of reducing side effects and allowing continuous drug release over weeks - or even months - in contrast to the rapid decline in medication blood levels which follows injections or pill intake.

Drug-delivery devices need to be simpler, safer, and, in a context of increased homecare treatment and self-administration, more intuitive and convenient.
