What are the benefits of the PKA Micro-Needle? 

Syringe injections are painful for both humans and animals.  There are several other different styles of technologies for administering inoculations including pens, medication pumps, patches and needle-free devices.  We’ve designed a device to address all of the concerns and limitations that hinder other modalities for complete injectable drug delivery. Of the 33 technologies currently available, the PKA SoftTouch Micro-Needle is the only effective device:

PAIN-FREE INJECTIONS
An injection is (at best) unpleasant and (at worst) a painful encounter, as doses are traditionally given subcutaneously or intramuscularly reaching deep enough into the skin to hit nerves and cause pain.

PAINLESS INJECTIONS FOR ANIMALS
Animals feel pain too! The PKA Micro-Needle will help overcome many of the difficulties in administering a painful needle injections to animals such as cows, horses, pigs, dogs and cats.

LOW-COST & EASY TO USE
Pre-filled with color-coded dose identification. You can inject anywhere on the body, where there is skin. Its simplicity with few moving parts means its costs are comparable to a syringe with a vial of drug.

REDUCES NEEDLE-PHOBIA & AVOIDS INJURIES
The needle is hidden inside the device both before and after the injection. This increases patient acceptance and helps eliminate needle phobia which affects 27% of the population.

INCONSPICUOUS, NO SHARPS DISPOSAL
Retracting needle means the device can be discarded into any wastebasket. It’s also not obvious when a patient is injecting with a needle.

HELP UNDER-SERVED COMMUNITIES
Potential to open the door for the safe and efficient delivery of vaccines and medication to areas of the world currently underserved by the medical community.

REDUCES ERRORS, ACCURATE DOSAGE
The only device that combines the applicator and drug in one pre-measured dose thus reducing errors, and IMPROVING patient and healthcare professional safety.

COMPATIBLE WITH MANY DRUG APPLICATIONS
The device is platform technology that is adaptable to use with a wide range of injectable drugs and vaccines.
