Pinpoint therapy

Nature, 1999, vol. 397, issue 6721, 658-658

Abstract: The modern hypodermic needle is not only feared by many patients, but it is an extremely wasteful way of administering drugs. Daedalus prefers the idea of a ‘microdermic needle’, which is so small it could pass harmlessly through tissues to a specific target in the body, requiring perhaps a millionth of the usual drug dose.
