OUR TECHNOLOGY
REDEFINING DRUG DELIVERY
The HeroPatch
Potential for best-in-class therapeutics by formulating existing and new molecules for optimized clinical outcomes
Tunable Pharmacokinetic
profiles
By tuning the release profiles from minutes to hours, and the formulation to achieve the desired absorption.
Optimized delivery for biologics
By utilizing the solid form of the APIs, we enable the delivery of biologics that normally are not stable in liquid form and would require IV infusions.
Room Temperature
Stability
Resulting in up to
10x cost reduction and
20x plastic reduction
compared to pen injections.
Combination Therapies of
next-gen therapeutics
By directly incorporating the solid form of the API, drug load up to 30 mg/patch allowing for co-formulation of multiple therapeutics within the same patch.
How Does it Work
Step 1: Application
The Hero Patch leverages the natural process of diffusion to deliver incredible payloads of medicine through the skin.
Step 2: Dissolution
Once the microneedles are effectively applied on the skin, the surrounding fluid begins to extract the loaded drug molecules.
Step 3: Complete Difussion
Throughout the process, the structure of the microneedles remains intact to ensure consistent penetration.
Step 4: Complete Drug Delivery
The final result is a complete delivery of the drug loaded for systemic uptake, and an array of empty microneedles that can be removed.
On the left, there is a representation of the polymeric matrix both before and after drug release. This illustrates how the entire structure of the microneedles is loaded with the desired drug, which is all that is delivered into the body via dermal diffusion.
Manufacturing Capabilities
HeroPatch™ eliminates the need for water and solvents—common barriers in microneedle manufacturing— unlocking reliable biologic stability, enabling high drug loading, and laying the foundation for scalable manufacturing.
Biologic Integrity Preservation
HeroPatch protects sensitive biologics by avoiding harsh processing steps, preserving their therapeutic potential while also enhancing thermostability and reducing supply-chain requirements
High
Payloads
Our solid-state formulation enables delivery of multi-milligram doses—ideal for large molecules and chronic conditions requiring systemic exposure.
Scalable
Manufacturing
The solvent-free technology lays the foundation for scalable manufacturing, enabling rapid deployment from clinical to commercial stages with minimal batch-to-batch and patch-to-patch variation.
