Bioadhesive film for dermal and transdermal drug administration (08 IT 54V8 0IUB)
An Italian research group developed a new transdermal drug administration system based on a bioadhesive film to be applied on the skin after wetting with water. They are looking for a technical partner for the realisation of an innovative therapeutic system, characterised by a monolayer structure, composed of advanced materials.

Although the transdermal drug administration represents a valid alternative to traditional administration routes, existing patches have still some limitations, such as skin irritation and visibility when applied on the skin. Additionally, existing patches show low efficiency since only a small percentage (10 %) of drug loaded reaches the body.
This research is aimed at the realisation of an innovative therapeutic system, characterised by a monolayer structure, composed of advanced materials. The system developed is a bioadhesive film to be applied on the skin after wetting with water. The film is thin, transparent and water permeable and delivers high percentages of active compound contained (up to 50%).
Innovative Aspects:
The materials used for its preparation are advanced, characterised by their complete biocompatibility. No organic solvents are required to reduce the environmental impact.
Degree of development:
