About Pressure-enabled Drug Delivery™ (PEDD)
The high intratumoral pressure created by the tumor microenvironment
limits the flow and accumulation of therapy in solid tumors.
Interventional medical devices employing Pressure-enabled Drug Delivery™
(PEDD) can improve drug delivery to the tumor by creating a favorable
pressure gradient that penetrates the hostile tumor microenvironment and
increases drug concentration in the tumor without increasing systemic
toxicity. Locoregional infusion with patented technology has been used
in nearly 8,000 procedures worldwide for liver cancer and can be applied
to a variety of other high-pressure solid tumors.
