Nanopatch

The Nanopatch is a small, simple medical device designed to deliver vaccines more effectively than traditional needles. It looks like a tiny, adhesive bandage with thousands of microscopic "pins" that penetrate the skin's outer layer. These pins release the vaccine directly into the skin, where it can trigger a stronger immune response. This method could improve vaccination rates by being easier to use, less painful, and possibly more stable without refrigeration. Researchers are exploring its potential for various vaccines, aiming to enhance public health, especially in areas with limited access to traditional healthcare.
