They were hoping for widespread application in 5 years. This article is from 2004. Sontra Medical changed their name to Echo Therapeutics in 2007. They stopped filing with the SEC in 2016, and were removed from trading in 2021 for failure to respond to their deliquency. Their website on their own LinkedIn gives a DNS error. I don't think things have gone well for them.

Sonophoresis and it's cousin iontophoresis have been around for decades. We learn technique and application in PT school.

Exactly what I was thinking when I saw this post, glad someone said it.
Ed: That article is from 2004, pretty sure we must have Hyposprays by now lol?

Turns out hypospray has existed for decades but has not gained widespread adoption due to concerns over spreading diseases.

Is being shot by a small water cannon otherwise preferable to being stabbed by a small tube?

So for about 24 hours, your skin is permeable to any liquid it comes in contact with? Sounds significantly less convenient than a small needle.

Not in my experience, accidentally touched my calf with the pressure washer while it was on full blast. It hurt worse than a needle.

Uh. So most meds are daily. Your skin is permeable for 24 hours.... which means what, you expose your own organs to the rain? To your own sweat? If your skin is permeable and you soak... are you wrecking your skin?... all day everyday?
Clearly I don't know the details, but that feels like a solution that is much worse than the problem.
