Dr. Lasse Leino, CEO of DelSiTech, said: "In low- and middle-income countries, there are still tens of millions of women who need support for family planning, and individuals at risk of HIV infection in need of better prevention measures. DelSiTech's mission is use our technology to develop novel products that bring the life-altering relief, to those in most need.

DelSiTechTMSilica Matrix
This is an advanced delivery technology for parenteral and local administration of injectable and implant dosage forms as well as eye drops. The proprietary technology is based on silica (SiO2) matrix into which the molecule or therapeutic agent of interest is embedded using a process called sol-gel. The resulting Matrix is non-porous, biocompatible and it can be designed to biodegrade by matrix dissolution at the desired rate to ensure a tightly controlled release of the active substance over periods of days up to many months or a year.
