ASIS for GAMMAGARD in Primary Immunodeficiency

Summary

ASIS Corporation (ASIS) has developed the only automatic injection system for delivery of injectable products to it's optimum/right spot, just outside of the fascia, which exists subdermally (between the skin and muscle). Bloodless basically implies longer lasting medicinal effects, and minimal side effects - advantages that reflect the NIH mission of enhancing health, lengthening life, and reducing the burdens of illness and disability. ASIS device is stabilized on the surface of the skin with negative pressure and emits an electrical current to create a bloodless cavity subdermally. ASIS device correctly, automatically, and consistently delivers therapeutic agents, yet requiring little skill of a practitioner - providing the steady and safe infusion into subdermal bloodless space of virtually any injectable product in addition to Botox, including GAMMAGARD LIQUID, Enbrel, Insulin, and Fillers, etc. According to the FDA, "This innovation will have major impact on the healthcare industry."
