What is this needle free technology?
Needle free injection technology (NFIT) is an extremely broad concept which include a wide range of drug delivery systems that drive drugs through the skin using any of the forces as Lorentz, Shock waves, pressure by gas or electrophoresis which propels the drug through the skin, virtually nullifying the use of hypodermic needle. This technology is not only touted to be beneficial for the pharmacy industry but developing world too find it highly useful in mass immunization programs, bypassing the chances of needle stick injuries and avoiding other complications including those arising due to multiple use of single needle. The NFIT devices can be classified based on their working, type of load, mechanism of drug delivery and site of delivery. To administer a stable, safe and an effective dose through NFIT, the sterility, shelf life and viscosity of drug are the main components which should be taken care of. Technically superior needle-free injection systems are able to administer highly viscous drug products which cannot be administered by traditional needle and syringe systems, further adding to the usefulness of the technology.
Why is the needle free technology used in Hair Transplant local anesthesia?
It is mainly used for three aspects that are the following ones:
- AsLidocaine is used in the local anesthesia, it is a quite thick medicine that is way faster to administer via Needle Free Local Anesthesia.
- Also, the injection of the anesthetic can be the only moment you can feel pain as, logically, you don’t have your area anesthetized yet. Needle Free permits to inject instantly the anesthetic, reducing the time required for this step, as well as permitting to make the process almost entirely pain free!
- It permits overall to make the operation smoother, as it negates the “Needle fear” or even “Needle phobia” people can have.
