  Technology Applications  
 
  • Drug delivery in acute and chronic wounds
  • Protein Delivery for Wound Healing Phases
    • Growth Factors
  • Injectable Implants
    • Long-term controlled release
  • Ocular Drug Delivery
    • Conjunctival sac delivery
    • Eye orbital implants
 
     
  Drug Delivery Applications  
 
  • Self-assembling conjunctival implant. Erodible or non-erodible
    • Self-assembling, soft drug delivery implant formed in conjunctival sac from eye drops.
    • Drug release is tailored to the application
  • Injectable orbital implant allowing placement in the Tenons capsule.
    • Can be placed near the optic nerve
    • Can be placed near wounds or infections in the scleral wall
  • Scleral Buckle impregnated with antibiotic
    • Pre formed buckles
    • Injectable buckles

  Drug Delivery Eye Drop Applications  
 
  • On administration of the eye drop into the conjunctival sac immediately on contact with body fluids the eye drop fluid will irreversible coalesce to form a self assembling implant.
  • Material conforms to the shape of the conjunctival sac area.
  • The material characteristics of the implant can be designed to the intended application
  • The material is significantly softer than implantable drug delivery devices
  • Drug release rates can be tailored over 30 days or longer depending on the amount of drug required
  • Permanent implant material can be easily removed after application.
 
     
  Ocular Drug Delivery Advantages  
 
  • Drug delivery can be tailored to specific applications
  • Material is formed of contact lens hydrogel polymer with long history of safety and ocular tolerance
  • Hydrogel offers ease of application and drug delivery rates of up to one year
