A transdermal drug delivery device for forming a micropore in a tissue membrane of an animal comprising a substrate and a porator that is located on or within the substrate. The porator is constructed of a material that is destroyed upon forming the micropore. The transdermal drug delivery device also comprises at least one reservoir and a controller for controlling the formation of said micropore by the porator and destroying the porator after the formation of the micropore.

Transdermal drug delivery device, method of making same and method of using same

A method and device for forming artificial openings in a biological membrane with a pyrotechnic charge that is exploded in a controlled manner in proximity of the biological membrane to form the artificial opening(s) therein. The method and device are useful in connection with transdermal delivery and monitoring applications.

Controlled removal of biological membrane by pyrotechnic charge for transmembrane transport

The invention provides for improved devices and methods for forming openings in a biological membrane for delivering substances into an animal through the biological membrane for treatment applications, or extracting substances from the animal through the biological membrane for monitoring or other diagnosis applications and for increased transmembrane flux.
