Inkjet-printed drug pump delivers anesthetic with precision, cutting waste

Researchers have built a flexible electronic pump that dispenses bupivacaine—a common anesthetic—at exact doses using inkjet printing technology. The advance could reduce drug waste in surgical settings and enable more targeted pain management, opening a new market for personalized delivery devices in hospitals and outpatient clinics.
