Needle-free injector technology (NFIT) has drawn attention due to their advantages. By using NFIT, it can be used several time unlike a conventional needle. Also, it makes patients free from pain. Since NFIT by jet injection is achieved by ejecting a liquid drug through a narrow orifice at high pressure, thereby creating a fine high-speed fluid jet that can readily penetrate skin and tissue. Until very recently, all jet injectors utilized force-and pressure-generating principles that progress injection in anuncontrolled mannerwith limited ability to regulate delivery volume and injection depth. In order to address these shortcomings, we have developed a controllable jet injection device, based on a custom high-stroke linear Lorentz-force motor. Using this device, we are able to monitor and modulate continuously the speed of the drug jet, and regulate precisely the volume of drug delivered during the injection process. |
