According to a study appeared in the journal Advanced Functional Materials drugs can be delivered to premature babies via a plaster rather than an injection. Instead of using injections or probes it will in future be possible to deliver drugs to premature babies via a plaster. Researchers have developed a UV-activated membrane which releases a gentle dose of medication to the skin of a patient. The plaster which delivers drug through the membrane can be simply stuck to the skin of the premature baby after which it will provide the tiny patient with a continuous dose of say caffeine for
