Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100292632Transdermal Micro-Patch - A transdermal micro-patch for use with living tissue is provided. The micro-patch includes a first membrane, a reservoir, a micro-pump, flextensional transducers, a microelectronics circuit, and an optional sensor. The first membrane is permeable to allow the passage of fluid in either a unidirectional or bidirectional fashion. The reservoir is a container-like element capable of storing a fluid removed from or communicated into the tissue. The micro-pump facilitates transport of the fluid between the reservoir and first membrane. The flextensional transducers generate ultrasonic waves which are separately communicated into the tissue to transport fluid between the first membrane and tissue. Ultrasonic waves could interact to enhance the performance of the micro-patch. The microelectronics circuit controls both flextensional transducers and the micro-pump. The sensor could be embedded within the micro-patch to monitor temperature, pressure, or flow rate so as to avoid damage or irritation to the tissue.11-18-2010
