Microceramic stars make skin layers permeable for active ingredients

11.12.2024

Researchers at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology Empa have developed nanoceramic microstars that enable the transport of active ingredients into the skin via micro-bursts. In an interview with MEDICA.de, Dr. Michael Stuer describes the new development, which is to be used by an industrial partner for the treatment of skin diseases.

When carrying out root canal treatment procedures, dentists need to insert a file deep into the root canal to remove the inflamed tissue. The rotating file often gets jammed and must be cleaned regularly. Researchers have developed a piezoceramic stack actuator that overlays the rotating motion with a vibrating motion.
