Birch Point Medical

Birch Point Medical is a medical technology company specializing in non-invasive, site-specific drug delivery systems. The company is best known for developing the IontoPatch, a self-contained, wireless electronic patch that utilizes iontophoresis to deliver medication through the skin. This technology is widely used in physical therapy and sports medicine to treat localized inflammatory conditions such as tendonitis and bursitis. By providing a disposable and wearable alternative to traditional wired iontophoresis systems, Birch Point Medical's products offer significantly improved patient mobility and convenience. The company's patches are designed to deliver medication over an extended period, ensuring a controlled and effective treatment dose. In 2012, Birch Point Medical was acquired by Avery Dennison to strengthen its medical products division, Vancive Medical Technologies.
