| Presenting an
effective alternative for total patient care of Diabetes
Mellitus |
The AdvantaJet®
family of advanced needle-free injection systems is a total solution for
patients who depend on multiple daily injections of insulin for diabetes care.
The AdvantaJet® DOES NOT USE A NEEDLE!
A micro-jet
stream of insulin painlessly mists through the outer skin and into the
subcutaneous layer below. This advanced process eliminates the skin trauma and
uncomfortable injections that needles can cause. It’s virtually PAINLESS.
Jet injection effectively reduces skin trauma
Clinical studies
have supported maintenance of near normal glycemia in attempts to lessen the
frequency and severity of the long-term complications of diabetes mellitus.
Developmental improvements in jet injection technology resulted in several
indications for utilization of jet injection.
These included:
accuracy, rapidity, ease of administration and reliability, as well as
maintenance of sterility over extended periods of time. Further indications were
noted following a tissue evaluation after one year of continuous administration
of insulin. Biopsy examination of needle and syringe injection sites were
compared to jet inoculation sites. With the needle and syringe technique, marked
fibrosis, atrophy and scarring were present, whereas the jet injector sites were
free of such findings. |
