| The MicronJet Needle | | The MicronJet needle is a MicroPyramid-based device for direct intradermal delivery. | | | |
| Intradermal delivery made easy | | |  | Mounted on a standard syringe instead of a conventional needle, the MicronJet can be used to inject virtually any substance allowing controlled intradermal delivery. The MicronJet is ideal for intradermal administration of drugs, proteins and vaccines, and requires minimal performer expertise.

| No more pain |
The MicronJet contains an array of MicroPyramids, each less than one-half of a millimeter high. Since the microneedles are so short, they do not reach the free nerve endings of the skin which are responsible for pain sensation, so there is no painful "needle prick", and most substances can be administered completely without pain. Furthermore, the microneedles are so small, that they are barely visible to the naked eye, making the MicronJet far less intimidating than a conventional needle, and perfect for children and needle-phobic patients.
|
| Clinical data | NanoPass recently completed two clinical trials. These pilot trials were designed to test the safety and efficacy of the MicronJet as a painless needle substitute for intradermal injections. Two additional trials with the MicronJet are currently in progress with several more in set-up.
|
| Preclinical data | Numerous preclinical trials in several models, including mice, rats and pigs demonstrate that virtually any substance can be injected intradermally with the MicronJet, including extremely viscous and gelatinous substances. A partial list of drugs successfully administered with the MicronJet includes Insulin and other large therapeutic proteins, Lidocaine, and some thick hydrogels used in specific areas of medicine. |
