3D-Printed Personalised Opioid Delivery Devices for Gastrostomy Administration in Paediatric Palliative Care
King’s College London
About the Project Children with life-limiting illnesses depend on precise, reliable pain management — yet almost no opioid formulations are designed with them in mind. For paediatric patients with a gastrostomy, the problem is even more acute: standard dosage forms were never designed for this route, leaving clinicians relying on improvised, off-label preparations with unpredictable and potentially dangerous results. Better options are urgently needed.
