MicroSpray Technologies

Seed Round in 2018
Size matters, or rather the uniformity of microparticles makes a big difference. A difference, for example, that can allow an eye surgery to become a outpatient event. MicroSpray technologies are making this a reality by decreasing the size of the drugs into uniform microspheres, which you can then inject into the eye with the smallest gauge needle rather than a more invasive tool. Currently, biopharmaceutical industries use costly chemical methods to manufacture microspheres, which rely on batch-type processes, have a low throughput and produce non-uniform particles. MicroSpray Technologies is developing a spray-manufacturing system which enables reproducible, tight and uniform control of particle size. Allowing clinicians to administer control over the rate at which drugs are delivered to patients, using novel slow release particle technologies.
