Painless Injections on the Way?

Japan: The pain of injections may one day become a thing of the past thanks to an invention by Kyoto Pharmaceutical University´s Professor Kanji Takada.

Professor Takada´s device uses micro-needles constructed out of a polymer that is water soluble. The needles go through the top layer of skin and dissolve, delivering medication or vaccinations without discomfort.

Takada expects that the hospitals in Japan will have the option of the painless delivery system within two years.
