What is it about?

Needle free jet injection never reached its full potential as a strategic tool to deliver medications through the skin. It reduces pain during drug delivery and allows for a broader diffusion of the drug in the dermis. Setting the right parameters - now possible via new jet injectors - is key to obtain optimal results.

Why is it important?

A crucial contribution to the success of needle free jet injection involves setting the right parameters using adjustable versatile jet injectors. The focus is now shifting towards user-friendly disposable cartridge jet injectors for single-dose devices eliminating the risk of cross contamination .

Perspectives

Future research should expand on tailored parameters pertaining to traditional and new indications of needle free jet injection like intradermal PDT for skin cancer to insure a safe and effective outcome.
