Abstract
Poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) is a biocompatible and non-toxic polymer able to form a hydrogel network suitable for drug encapsulation and delivery. A directional controlled release device for porphyrins used in cancer therapy has been devised and implemented based on the swelling and collapse capability of the PVA-based hydrogel. An improved version of this device, having a multi-laminar design with a retarder membrane, is accomplished. The devices can function as model systems for the advanced engineering of transdermal drug-delivery devices for various therapeutic applications (photodynamic therapy, viral inactivation and treatment of psoriasis).
