About Anesiva's Drug Delivery Technology
Anesiva owns intellectual property covering the delivery of solid particles of proteins, peptides and small molecules (other than vaccines) into the skin at high velocity by pressurized gases. The technology aims to provide subcutaneous and systemic delivery of drugs without the pain and inconvenience associated with injections and needles.
