Non-invasive transdermal textile system for the administration of active substances and the collection of body fluids

Abstract

Textile-integrated transdermal system used to administer active ingredients and / or collect body fluids through the skin.

Description

2. Technical area

[0001] The invention relates to the fields of medical technology, textile microfluidics, drug delivery and biosensors. 3. State of the art

[0002] Systems for transdermal point-based fluid withdrawal or drug administration in the form of patches and invasive devices are known. However, a textile, integrable solution for combined administration and withdrawal that is simultaneously non-invasive, wearable, and suitable for everyday use is currently lacking. 4. Object of the invention

[0003] The present invention relates to a medical module that can be integrated into garments for the non-invasive administration of liquids and for the removal of body fluids through the skin. 5. Technical solution

[0004] The system according to the invention consists of the following components: - a transdermal stimulation unit, - a textile microchannel structure for fluid conduction, - integrated micro reservoirs for storage, - textile sensors for recording physiological parameters, - textile integration into clothing, - and a power supply (e.g. textile battery or external module).

Claims

[1] Textile-integrated transdermal system used to administer active substances and / or to collect body fluids through the skin. [2] System according to claim 1, wherein the transdermal effect is supported by thermal, mechanical and / or electrical stimuli. [3] System according to one of the preceding claims, which has a textile-integrated sensor field for detecting physiological parameters. [4] System according to one of the preceding claims, which is embedded in a garment in a modular manner.
