In May 1971, Alza Corporation filed the first patent for a transdermal device that would be the forerunner of what we know today as microneedling. (amarintech.com)
Alza Corporation, the company that invented and introduced the first transdermal patches, Scopolamine Transderm Scop, to the American market. (amarintech.com)
An advantage of a transdermal drug delivery route over other types of medication delivery (such as oral, topical, intravenous, or intramuscular) is that the patch provides a controlled release of the medication into the patient, usually through either a porous membrane covering a reservoir of medication or through body heat melting thin layers of medication embedded in the adhesive.

The administration of drugs using the microneedle device allows the drug to avoid the stratum corneum barrier and reach the deepest and most permeable areas of the epidermis. (amarintech.com)

Each scopolamine transdermal system delivers 1 mg of scopolamine over 3 days. (nih.gov)
Discontinue use of scopolamine transdermal system 10 days prior to testing. (nih.gov)
Membrane3
It softens after application and thereby makes it possible for the active substance to pass through the device for adjusting the distance to the membrane. (justia.com)
The device for adjusting the distance provides a space between reservoir layer and membrane and thereby prevents their premature contact. (justia.com)
The device for regulating the distance extends over the whole, mutually facing surfaces of the reservoir and the membrane. (justia.com)
Patch6
[ 13 ] Ethanol is present in the drug reservoir of both commercially available nonscrotal patch formulations. (medscape.com)
Triamcinolone sometimes is used because of its moderate potency, low cost, and compatibility with the hydroalcoholic gel that often is in patch reservoirs. (medscape.com)
The present invention relates to an active substance-containing patch for the controlled release of active substances, comprising an active substance-containing reservoir mass which softens at body temperature. (justia.com)
DE 35 03 111 describes a patch comprising drugs in a solid reservoir mass which softens at body temperature and is formed as a disk. (justia.com)
Another patch of this kind is described in DE 35 22 060, here a reservoir mass disk is fixed to an elastic plastic disk having the same diameter. (justia.com)
It is accordingly the object of the present invention to provide an active substance-containing patch with an active substance-containing reservoir mass softening at body temperature, which releases the active substance only after a predetermined period from application. (justia.com)
