TOMSK, Nov 30 – RIA Tomsk.
Scientists of Tomsk State University (TSU) developed a bracelet which will
automatically provide patients with diabetes with insulin during a day: it will
"impregnate" a skin with medicine without injection, it is reported
on Monday on the website of the higher education institution.
According to the university,
scientists of TSU suggest to forget traditional injections of insulin which
injure a patient's skin, lead to psychological discomfort of a patient and can
cause an inflammation.
"Unlike analogs this
development is capable to provide the maximum speed of diffusion (penetration
of insulin under skin) and excludes thermal injury of skin. Besides, the plates
sated with insulin are disposable in analogs, and the porous plate of nikelid
titanium doesn't need replacement. It is enough to impregnate it with insulin
solution again that simplifies (use)", – it is told on the website.

It is specified that the device
represents a bracelet. It automatically controls the mode and the dose of the
injured insulin. The device operates as follows: the plate impregnated with
insulin is imposed on the skin of a patient. Depending on indications it heats
up with the infrared radiation within 30-120 minutes thanks to what insulin
gets into an organism.
The scientists assume that the
development can also be applied at treatment of other diseases at the
corresponding adaptation, using the corresponding preparations.
