The competitive advantages of DelSiTech™ drug delivery technology are

Safety:

• A natural component of the body
• A biocompatible cell and tissue friendly material
• Does not affect the pH of the surrounding tissues (reduced risk of inflammation)
• Non-toxic
• No burst release even at an accidental breakdown of the administered dose

Flexibility:

• Biodegradable (surface erosion)
• Variable forms: monoliths, fibres, multiparticles and coatings
• The encapsulation process takes place at room (or below) in aqueous phase in conditions especially suitable for biopharmaceuticals
• Variable delivery times: from days to several months
• Suitable for synthetic small molecular compounds and for biopharmaceuticals like polysaccharides, proteins and viruses

The technology is protected by a range of patents through to 2026.
