ASTI

ASTI’s plastic micro needles have high potential for effective vaccination. According to the study with the micro needles, the intradermal vaccination with those has proved the possibility of being more efficacious than conventional subcutaneous injection, because of higher number of antigen-presenting cells in the skin, leading to induction of stronger immune response with lower antigen levels. This means that the amount of vaccine needed can be reduced, therefore saving countless amounts of money, and reducing the waste of precious vaccines. Another aspect of using micro needles for drug injection is that doctors can administrate in a more efficient way, as there are six micro needles, meaning the depth of the injection will be standardized regardless of their skill. In addition, studies show that kind of micro needles could be used to administer erythropoiesis stimulating agent, parathyroid hormone or growth hormone, although vaccination will be the main use of these micro needles.

In short, these micro needles will enable doctors to administrate the drugs intradermally with accuracy and ease.
We are looking for some solid partners in order to further expand our medical business. We would be very keen in finding companies specialized in pharmaceutical products of intradermal administration in order to partner up with.
