Biomedical Applications in Polymer Chemistry Innovations
Abstract: In recent years, polymers and composite materials have been extensively utilized in fabricating electro-mechanical devices for medical applications, including gum massagers for edentulous patients. These devices aid in oral tissue stimulation, improving circulation and overall gum health. This paper explores the application of polymer chemistry in the fabrication of a compact electro-mechanical gum massager designed for edentulous individuals. The device employs biocompatible elastomeric polymers that offer flexibility, durability, and controlled …

Microneedles: An Innovative Drug Delivery System
Abstract: Microneedles represent a groundbreaking innovation in drug delivery systems, offering a transformative alternative to conventional hypodermic needles and transdermal patches. This advanced technology combines the precision and efficacy of needle-based delivery with the convenience and pain-free nature of patches, creating a minimally invasive platform that addresses many limitations of traditional drug administration. Microneedles are designed to penetrate the stratum corneum – the skin’s outermost layer – without reaching pain-sensitive nerves …
