No More Needles: ‘Painless’ Laser Injects Drugs
Tests on guinea pigs has already proven successful and engineer Jack Yoh, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Seoul National University in South Korea, is looking to commercialize it for clinical use. “In the immediate future, this technology could be most easily adopted to situations where small doses of drugs are injected at multiple sites,” he says.
For those who fear needles (or have young children), this invention cannot come soon enough.
