OBJ reduces delivery time

Tuesday, 15 February, 2005 - 21:00

AN independent scientific study has shown that OBJ’s electronic drug delivery technology has reduced drug delivery times up to 70 per cent.

In the same study, conducted by the Western Australian Biomedical Research Institute, OBJ’s technology was shown to reduce the time to onset of action and the time to achieve specific drug levels.

The drugs being delivered were prilocaine and lignocaine hydrochloride, both local anaesthetic drugs that penetrate skin poorly.

OBJ’s is now awaiting Ethics Committee approval for human trials and will expand its drug testing program to include a range of anti-cancer drugs, human hormones and cosmetic compounds used in anti-ageing and anti-scarring applications.
