DermaPrecise™

Next-Generation Dermal Injection Technology

DermaPrecise™ is our next-generation dermal injector. DermaPrecise™ is a motorized injection device with programmable depth and volume, a built-in Peltier element for pre-injection numbing of the skin and interchangeable needle head configurations. It is designed to deliver a variety of injectable substances in and under the skin with an array of needle configurations, ranging from a single needle to a 16-needle configuration (4x4) on one head. These interchangeable heads can be used to perform a variety of procedures, increase surface area coverage and speed up procedure times.

The DermaPrecise™ injector was designed with input from dermatologists, industrial designers, and electronic and medical device engineers to improve the delivery of a variety of injectables in a controlled, precise manner, with the aim of reducing the variability associated with manually operated, single-needle syringes.

Equipped with a touch screen on its accompanying docking station, the device's programmability allows for the delivery of precise quantities of material, at specific depths, through fine-gauge needles, on a single plane or trailing through multiple planes as the needle retracts through the skin.

An initial intended application for DermaPrecise™ is the injection of hyaluronic acid-based ("HA") dermal fillers.

DermaPrecise™ remains in development.

DermaPrecise™ is designed to deliver:

• a variety of injectable substances including cells, dermal fillers, drugs or biologics;
• intradermally (dermis), subcutaneously (fat) or intramuscularly (muscle); and
• via an array of needle configurations ranging from a single needle to a 16 needle configuration, (4x4) on one head.

Features:

• Digital, touch-screen controls
• Programmable depth & volume
• Removable Peltier element for sterilization
• Interchangeable needle heads
• Multiple needle configurations
• Pre-filled disposable cartridges
• High-powered light

Design goals:

• Delivery of a variety of injectable substances
• Enables broad, shallow injections for fine wrinkles
• Increases precision and ease of application
• Improved control and delivery
• Comfort grip for ease of use
• Increased surface area coverage
• Quicker procedure times
• Reduction in use of local anaesthetics
• Less pain and bruising
• Improved consistency of results

DermaPrecise™ Mode of Action

The DermaPrecise™ injector is designed to deliver substances into specific layers of the skin while controlling for depth, volume, flow rate and shear stress. These controllable features are intended to allow for deposition of injectable materials in three dimensions.
