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