The Company was founded by Professor David Haddleton and the University of Warwick in 2015 based on their world-leading expertise in bioadhesives and polymer chemistry. The adhesive has a high drug loading capacity, so a smaller quantity of adhesive is needed to deliver a therapeutic dose; the patch can therefore be thinner and more flexible. It also enables excipients, such as permeation enhancers, to be included in the adhesive so the release of the drug from the patch can be tailored to achieve the desired product profile. The adhesive also provides excellent adhesion, even in moist conditions. This means that the patch remains in contact with the skin throughout the dosing period, so the full dose is delivered. There is no leakage of adhesive from the patch so ther...
