This ultrasound patch is made using a silicone-based polymer that automatically sticks to the skin.
Several disc-shaped piezoelectric transducers are used in thispatch prototype to convert electric currents into mechanical energy. Each of these discs consists of a cavity that stores the drug molecule in liquid form.
This device was tested on pig skin, and the team delivered niacinamide . The results demonstrated 26 times more drug delivery than the penetration achieved without ultrasonic technology.The current prototype can only deliver drugs a few millimeters into the skin, but the team is working to increase the depth of penetration.Delivering drugs through the skin is easier said than done.
