This technology is an alternative to techniques used actually for enhancing transdermal drug delivery such as iontophoresis, electroporation, and microporation
• This technology is a new way to cross the stratum corneum using heat
• The heat will destabilize the stratum corneum allowing the medication to pass through
• This technology is expected to expand the spectrum of drugs to be administered transdermally
• The patch is composed of 3 parts:
• a thin, flexible polymer support with high chemical and thermal resistance
• a thin nano-perforated metallic film transforming by Joule effect an electric current into heat
• a thin solid matrix containing a drug solution or suspension to be administrated
