Medical advancements are constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible in healthcare. One such innovation that is gaining traction in the medical field is the use of Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) in new treatment methods. But how exactly is PTFE being utilized to revolutionize medical ...
The choice of preservative is critical to maintaining the integrity and safety of liquid pharmaceuticals. Coatings: Coatings are used primarily for tablets and capsules to enhance their palatability, improve appearance, and protect the drug from environmental factors. Film coatings often use polymers like hydroxypropyl ...
Platelet drug delivery systems will use platelets or their derivatives for creating specific drug carriers which can target matching cells to execute drug delivery functions and develop new treatment strategies. Current research directions for this drug system involve the following topics. Platelets Directly Carry ...
Microneedles have gained significant attention in recent years for their potential in drug delivery applications. These tiny needles, typically measuring less than 1 mm in length, can painlessly penetrate the skin and deliver drugs in a precise and controlled manner. ...
Furthermore, they provide options for on-demand drug release and personalized medicine applications. Coated Microneedle Technology Coated microneedles involve the application of a drug layer on the microneedles' surface. The coating can be designed to enable sustained release or rapid dissolution of the ...
These innovative patches provide a minimally invasive and painless alternative to injections while ensuring precise and controlled drug administration. In this article, we will explore various types of microneedle patch technologies, including phase-transition microneedle patches, hydrogel microneedle patches, solid microneedles, hollow microneedles, coated ...
Coated Microneedles Coated microneedles are also known as surface drug-loaded microneedles. The drug is attached to the surface of the microneedle by infiltration, coating or drug loading outside the needle. ...
Coatings are widely used in oral solid dosage forms, including tablets, capsules, multi-particulates and drug crystals. ...
” Alucent’s NVS Vessel Restoration System with Photoactivated Linking is an all-inone system—including a drug-coated angioplasty balloon and light fiber—that combines standard angioplasty techniques with light-activated protein linking. ...
The hydrophilic group of β-CD can improve the solubility, dissolution rate and bioavailability of the drug after the inclusion of the poorly soluble drug, and the hydrophobic group can control the release rate of the drug after forming an inclusion complex with the water-soluble drug. ...
Philips already has a leading peripheral vascular portfolio, consisting of: live 2D/3D interventional imaging combined with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) catheters to provide the visualization and guidance essential for the optimal diagnosis and treatment; peripheral atherectomy devices to remove blockages; and peripheral therapy devices, including the Stellarex ...
The aim of this study was to design a new Drug Delivery System (DDS) based on poly (lactide–co–glycolide) (PLGA) biodegradable nanospheres (NS) coated with Chitosan (CTS), in order to prolong its residence time and to deliver the nanoparticles more specifically to cancer cells. ...
A review of oral drug delivery to the colon is a difficult but desirable method of administration. ...
This work reports the concept of a novel, dual-acting, 'soft' pellet formulation, which protects film-coated 'hard' pellets during tabletting. The novel 'soft' pellets were designed to both cushion film-coated pellets during tabletting and ensure rapid disintegration of the tablets when in contact with water. ...
