Needle-free injectors have been an area of ongoing research and development in the medical and pharmaceutical industries. As of 2021, various needle-free injection technologies were already available or in development. Some of the existing needle-free injection methods include:
Jet Injectors: These devices use a high-pressure stream of liquid to penetrate the skin and deliver medication. They are typically used for vaccines and other subcutaneous injections.
Inhaled Powder and Spray Devices: Some medications can be delivered via inhalation, eliminating the need for traditional injections.
Microneedle Patches: These patches have tiny needles that are painlessly inserted into the skin, delivering the medication without causing discomfort.
Micro jet Injectors: These devices use a very thin stream of fluid to penetrate the skin and deliver drugs just below the skin's surface.
The development and availability of needle-free injectors will depend on several factors, including the progress of technology, regulatory approvals, cost-effectiveness, and acceptance by healthcare providers and patients. Companies and researchers are continually exploring ways to improve drug delivery methods, reduce pain and anxiety associated with injections, and increase patient compliance.
