Future of Health: Painless Injections Delivered By Laser

Pantec Biosolutions has developed a device that aims to replace the use of needles to deliver some types of medicines. Their Painless Laser Epidermal System injects medications through tiny micro-perforations in the skin with the help of a laser scanner. Pricing and availability details have not yet been announced but the device has been authorized to be sold in European markets.

A Pantec press release explains below:

P.L.E.A.S.E. Professional® is an affordable portable benchtop system with a diode pumped Er:YAG fractional ablative laser. Compared with the currently marketed lamp pumped systems, P.L.E.A.S.E. Professional® is a small, lightweight and very cost efficient device with a variety of applications in conventional and aesthetic dermatology and in general medicine. P.L.E.A.S.E. Professional® allows precise intraepidermal microporation in connection with improved transdermal drug delivery of new or existing drugs. This class 1 laser device requires little maintenance and clinicians using it have no need for safety protection.

Over the next few weeks, PSFK is running a trends research and innovation project in association with UNICEF. We will be researching (with your help) the development of key trends that impact health and wellbeing and then using our findings to develop with partners concepts that UNICEF and likeminded organizations could consider deploying across the world.
