  • Needles have played a crucial role in inducing life-saving vaccines, and drugs into a patient's system, however, when it's the most dreaded part of a child's experience at a doctor's clinic. Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology ( IIT ) Bombay have introduced a painless alternative in the form of a shockwave-based needle-free syringe

The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay has developed a groundbreaking needle-free syringe technology that utilizes shockwaves to deliver drugs painlessly. This innovative device, named 'Shakti', uses a controlled explosion to create a shockwave that propels medication through the skin without the need for a needle, thus reducing the pain and anxiety associated with injections. The technology not only promises to make vaccinations and drug administration less invasive but also aims to improve compliance with medical treatments, particularly in children and needle-phobic individuals. The syringe has been tested on various materials and animal tissues, showing promising results in terms of effectiveness and safety. This development could revolutionize medical procedures by offering a less painful alternative to traditional needle injections.
