Echo is developing its PreludeTM SkinPrep System to allow for painless and significantly enhanced skin permeation that will enable both needle-free drug delivery and analyte extraction. Utilizing this technology, Echo is also developing its needle-free SymphonyTM tCGM System as a non-invasive, wireless, transdermal continuous glucose monitoring (tCGM) system for use in hospital critical care units and for people with diabetes.

More about Echo Therapeutics

Echo Therapeutics, www.echotx.com, is a transdermal medical device company with deep expertise in advanced skin permeation technology. Echo is developing its PreludeTM SkinPrep System as a platform technology to allow for significantly enhanced and painless skin permeation that will enable two important applications:

* Needle-free drug delivery, with the delivery of lidocaine as the first application. Additional applications for painless, needle-free delivery of drugs are planned.

* Analyte extraction, with the SymphonyTM tCGM System for needle-free, continuous glucose monitoring in hospital patients as the first application.

Echo believes that transdermal drug delivery and analyte monitoring is a much better way of patient care than the current paradigm of invasive, needle-based therapy. Prelude has the potential to provide a safe, painless, easy-to-use and cost effective skin permeation process that Echo believes will increase patient comfort, compliance and ultimately patient outcomes.
