ADVANTAGES IN PHARMA
Pharma GMP & ISO certified industrial electrospinning and spraying.
Optimize drug performance:
- Size reduction of particles and fibers → Dramatically increased surface area and controlled crystallinity → increase bioavailability.
- Efficient encapsulation → Design of release profile.
Versatile, simple and low impact processing:
- Drying and encapsulation in a single step at room temperature.
- Excellent processability of a wide range of materials.
- Robust and continuous processing.

Example of our unique mucoadhesive delivery platform for drugs
Rivelin® mucosal drug delivery patch novel administration route with designed release profile
- Developed for the treatment of mucosal lesions e.g. oral lichen planus (6 million patients in USA & Europe)
- Dual-action patch technology that adheres to any mucosal surface
- Provides controlled and efficient uni-directional drug delivery to target area
- Provides soft protective shield that offers instant pain relief and efficient healing
- Currently in Phase 2b clinical trial – 240 patients with oral lichen planus, across 20 site in EU and US
Drug-loaded Layer
- Facing mucosa
- Bio-adhesive
- Hydrophilic
- Biodegradable
- Enhanced permeation through skin.
- Hypoallergenic and good adhesion for days.
- Provides controlled drug delivery to target area.
- Combination of different APIs.
- Actives embedded inside electrospun fiber material.
- Free choice of:
- Substrate type.
- Dimension and shape.
Oral Dissolving Film (ODF/OTF)
- Immediate release in the mouth for oral mucosal or gastrointestinal absorption..
- Combination of different APIs in monolayer or multilayer design..
- Flavour masking.
- Increased dissolution rate, permeability and hence bioavailability
- API nanodispersed within excipient microparticles
- High API content within the microparticles, e.g.. >80%
- Prevents API aggregation, recrystallization and polymorphism
- Safe handling during tabletting
Nanonized API in microcapsule (Nano-in-Micro)
Dissolution rate
Effect of formulation and electrospraying process on dissolution rate.
- Nanonized valsartan within microparticles leads to near instantaneous dissolution
Permeability profile
Effect on permeation across caco-2 cell membrane
- Nanonized valsartan showed over 6x increase in permeability compared with pure API
Plasma Concentration
Effect on bioavailability.
- Nanonized valsartan showed a 4.7x increase in systemic exposure compared with pure API
