Novel Nanotopography

Novel Nanotechnology

The revolutionary nanotopography of Sofusa has been shown by in vitro studies to perturbate the extracellular matrix, enabling drug flow through tight cellular junctions.

Lymphatic Targeting

Lymphatic Targeting

With proprietary microneedle technology, the Sofusa platform is designed to access lymphatic capillaries just below the epidermis.

Tunable Distribution

Tunable Distribution

The Sofusa proprietary distributor block is adaptable to a range of pharmacokinetic requirements and helps ensure precise, consistent drug flow through the microneedle array.


Sofusa does what subcutaneous injections can never do.

Advantaged Lymphatic Absorption

Nanotopography draped microneedles infuse drug within the epidermis to access both the systemic and lymphatic capillaries. This creates an efficient mass transfer system and helps to avoid the inherent inefficiencies of subcutaneous drug delivery.

Tunable Pharmacokinetics

The Sofusa platform can be tuned to deliver controllable, consistent drug flow with potential to enable superior efficacy and fewer adverse events.
