There are several reasons why our researchers chose the eventual route of administration as transdermal absorption - skin patches. Transdermal absorption was chosen to avoid the first pass effect (reduced absorption due to oral consumption). Our product delivers medication from our patch directly into the body through the opening of pores initiated by the world's first far-infrared skin patch technology.
When an active ingredient is absorbed into the bloodstream from the gastrointestinal tract, it is significantly metabolised in the liver before it reaches the systemic circulation, this phenomenon is known as the "first pass effect." In other words, the liver metabolises and excretes a portion of it before it reaches the body's target site.Active ingredients taken orally are absorbed into the portal circulation, or the blood supply that feeds the liver, before being distributed to the rest of the body, which results in the first pass effect. The amount that is available to exert its desired effect is decreased because the liver enzymes break down some of it before it enters the systemic circulation. The extent...
The use of acupuncture dates back thousands of years and originated in Oriental medicine. It has become more and more popular in the West over the past few decades as well. Qi (or life energy), which is pronounced "chee," is the general idea behind acupuncture and its closely related practice, acupressure. The energy system consists of meridians, which are well-defined pathways with numerous acupuncture points (also known as an acupoint) that have an impact on different organs, regions, or body systems, hence it can be used to treat a variety of medical conditions.. The body contains hundreds or even thousands of points, and recent CT scans have even revealed micro-vessel cluster points that coincide with these body locations. The fundamental...
KPLASS' has developed the world's first far-infrared patch technology after years and years of research here in the little sunny island of Singapore. This capability of incorporating cutting-edge technology into a comfortable skin patch, is a significant milestone in the field of medical technology.
In neonatal care, far-infrared (FIR) radiation has been used to accelerate healing and enhance general health results. The medical care provided to newborn infants, typically up to 28 days old, is referred to as neonatal care. The following are some applications for FIR radiation in neonatal care:Incubators for NewbornsIn neonatal incubators, FIR radiation is occasionally used to promote healing and regulate body temperature. These incubators simulate the warmth and light of the mother's womb by emitting heat and light using FIR radiation. In premature or low-birthweight infants, this can help to lessen stress and promote healthy growth and development. Phototherapy In phototherapy, a treatment for jaundice, a common condition in newborns that results in yellowing of...
