Abstract
A shock wave-driven needle-free syringe was developed and tested for liquid jet delivery into an artificial skin model and porcine skin samples. The device could deliver an adequate volume of liquid to a depth sufficient for drug dissemination in skin samples. The device is equipped with a splash-proof conduit and a silencer for smooth operation. The concept is expected to minimize the pain of liquid injection by a) minimally breaching the blood vessels in the skin, b) reducing trauma, inflammation and aiding regeneration of the incised spot by the liquid of the jet, and c) preserving most of the micro-circulation system in the target, enabling an effective drug uptake. A theoretical model that predicts jet penetration into viscoelastic targets is derived and presented. A sound agreement has been observed between the experimental jet penetration depths and the corresponding theoretical predictions. The development can offer a cost-effective, minimally invasive health care solution for immunization and drug delivery.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Medical Devices presents papers on medical devices that improve diagnostic, interventional and therapeutic treatments focusing on applied research and the development of new medical devices or instrumentation. It provides special coverage of novel devices that allow new surgical strategies, new methods of drug delivery, or possible reductions in the complexity, cost, or adverse results of health care. The Design Innovation category features papers focusing on novel devices, including papers with limited clinical or engineering results. The Medical Device News section provides coverage of advances, trends, and events.
