uPATCH

uPATCH aims to accelerate the transition of microneedles from a research environment into real-world, lifesaving solutions. With a size of less than 1 mm, they have proved to be more effective and less intrusive compared to many conventional methods of drug administration; great breakthrough innovations are being achieved around the world every day. The introduction of a standardized application procedure for end users is now begging for attention. Microneedles are, without a doubt, the drug administrative tool of the future. Their size reduces pain and chances for infections, while simultaneously removing the need for in-demand doctors. Many drugs work most efficiently when administered into the skin and the costly distribution channel (cold chain) associated with conventional vaccines can potentially be removed. With our patented (pending) technology, you can safely and effectively apply microneedles yourself!
