Ifsy: No Researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a new type of syringe that breaks through the traditional syringe sputum. Its appearance is the same as that of ordinary plaster. The size is like a regular stamp. The patient just needs to tear open the cover. Paste the upper protective film and stick it on the upper arm skin. Hundreds of tiny microscopic needles hidden in the adhesive plaster can slowly inject the liquid into the bloodstream and finally enter the blood circulation to finally play a therapeutic role. Researchers believe that the film-type micro-injector is a revolutionary syringe with a variety of advantages. First, the patient has no pain during use, so it is especially suitable for children with drugs or vaccines. Second, the syringe can maintain a constant speed when injecting drugs into the skin, which is very important for diabetics. It is very suitable to use a film-type micro-injector when using a hypoglycemic agent such as insulin because the syringe can quantify insulin. It is injected into the body at a constant speed to exert a stable hypoglycemic effect. For example, small-dose drugs such as anti-tumor drugs are also suitable for use with a film-type microinjector. The new product is expected to be launched in five years.
