Platform technology

One hydrogel platform,
two therapeutic applications

Oxford Medical Products has developed a proprietary gastroretentive hydrogel platform — the foundation beneath our work in weight management and drug delivery.

Further applications in nutraceutical delivery and biosensors
How the platform works

The first hydrogel technology of its kind with multiday gastroretention

How it works
1

The patient takes a hydrogel pill

2

Once in the stomach, the pill swells rapidly (in under 30 minutes) to the size of a large marshmallow

3

The swollen pill remains in the stomach for a pre-determined number of days. The system is tuneable, with OMP able to create formulations offering a range of 1–7 days of gastro-retention

4

The swollen gel then breaks down and is excreted naturally
