Tatton Consulting supported Liverpool-based needle-free drug delivery company Medicsen in its successful application to Needle free medicines delivery technologies: Feasibility studies, awarded £99,322 by Innovate UK for the project Needle-free delivery of vaccines using the first wearable ultrasound reusable device.
About the funded R&D project
Needle-based vaccination creates biohazardous sharps waste, requires trained administration and deters a meaningful share of the population. Medicsen’s patented ultrasound permeabilisation technology delivers through the skin without breaking it. This project runs feasibility trials for vaccine delivery using the first wearable reusable device of its kind.
