Medicated stretchable sleeve in an outside-out configuration
A stretchable sleeve that includes a medicated section has been developed by Korean researchers. The device can be pulled up straight, out of a pouch, without requiring a consumer to roll and flip its exterior surface outside, unlike other patches on the market that contain topical analgesics, according to Eugene Choi of Cerritos, California, USA; and his colleague Dong Hwan Choi and Mun Seok Han of Ansan City, Kyunggi-Do, South Korea.
