We offer comprehensive CDMO solutions and expertise in both transdermal and intradermal drug delivery technologies. Navigate obstacles, embrace opportunities and turn long-term possibilities into achievable milestones with our dermal capabilities and end-to-end services, supporting your project from concept to commercialization.
Transdermal delivery
Leveraging our rich heritage of technical, regulatory and commercial success, we offer full-service CDMO capabilities for both mono and combination transdermal product therapies. Our extensive knowledge and expertise drive innovation in transdermal delivery, amplifying your product’s impact and helping you fast-track healthier tomorrows.
Explore our exceptional-by-design transdermal capabilities:
- Single-layer drug-in-adhesive patches
- Multi-layer drug-in-adhesive patches
- Active gel patch formulations (applied as a gel, dries to a discreet waterproof film)
- Customizable patch design and geometries
- Medical- and pharmaceutical-grade coatings
- Topical tapes
Intradermal delivery: Microneedle array patches
Our microneedle array patches are designed for exceptional intradermal delivery of small and large molecules, including vaccines, peptides, proteins and biologics. Microneedle array patches can offer significant benefits for healthcare systems, patients and caregivers and pharmaceutical manufacturers.
- Enhanced efficacy through improved pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity
- Faster onset of action
- Improved patient compliance and adherence
- Elimination of cold-chain storage, increasing vaccine access for underserved populations
- Preferred administration experience
- Convenient at-home dosing
- Ease of use
- Reduced impact of needle phobia
- Dose sparing
- Market expansion through self-administration
- Reduced cost of goods and distribution costs
- Life cycle extension
- Differentiation by route of administration and device/product
Solid intradermal drug-delivery platform
An array of solid-coated microneedles allows for simple and intuitive administration into the skin while providing consistent and accurate drug delivery.
Liquid delivery platform
Hollow microneedles penetrate the skin and provide a sterile fluid path for delivering your drug intradermally.
Patch applicators
While our adhesive patches are designed for easy application, achieving optimal penetration requires a standard approach to adhering the patch to the patient’s skin. Our applicators enable proper insertion, helping ensure patients receive an accurate dose.
