Medical Devices for Drug Delivery

The researchers and many scientists are focusing on designing medical devices for drug delivery through the nasal and pulmonary routes. These routes are of interest for only local delivery, as in asthma, but also for direct delivery to the central nervous system and rapid delivery of drugs to the system circulation. Devices that account for specific physiological and anatomical features of the pulmonary and intranasal routes will be featured. Devices for Drug delivery are specialized tools for the delivery of a therapeutic agent or drug via a specific route of administration. Such devices are used as part of numerous medical treatments. Many in the industry have long felt overly burdened by what they consider to be an unnecessarily complex approval process.
