Dr Richard Fuisz along with Joseph Fuisz invented the issued DepoFilm patents.
The technology is designed to help overcome the challenges faced with conventional wet-cast thin film, according to the company. It also allows development of innovative new product concepts.
Dr Fuisz said: “The beauty of DepoFilm lies in its elegant simplicity, and the move of thin film manufacture into a single stage integrated manufacturing process from film formation to final primary packaging, together with the virtual elimination of yield issues that have bedeviled wet-cast manufacturers.
“This new effort represents an important contribution to drug delivery.”
