Abstract:
Transdermal drug delivery devices and systems with improved adhesion are disclosed. The transdermal drug delivery devices, or patches, include an integrated overlay that provides a drug-free adhesive perimeter designed to avoid affecting delivery of drug from the device. Also disclosed are methods of manufacturing the transdermal drug delivery devices that include incorporating an integrated overlay onto a TDS patch.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of increasing adhesion of a transdermal drug delivery patch, the method comprising:\n (a) providing a transdermal drug delivery patch, the drug delivery patch comprising a patch adhesive layer and a patch backing layer, wherein the patch adhesive layer comprises a first elastomer; (b) fabricating an overlay comprising the steps of:\n (i) coating an overlay adhesive layer on an overlay release liner; \n (ii) laminating an overlay backing layer onto the overlay adhesive layer, wherein: (A) the overlay adhesive layer comprises a second elastomer; (B) the second elastomer is substantially the same elastomer as the first elastomer; and (C) the overlay adhesive layer has a surface area that is greater than a surface area of the patch adhesive layer; \n (c) removing the overlay release liner whereby the overlay adhesive layer is exposed; and (d) integrating the transdermal delivery patch and the overlay, the integrating comprising disposing the overlay on the patch backing layer, wherein the overlay adhesive layer contacts the patch backing layer to produce a transdermal drug delivery patch with integrated overlay having an extended adhesive surface area; wherein the transdermal drug delivery patch with integrated overlay has an increased peel adhesion as compared to the transdermal drug delivery patch.
