Enhanced absorption through damaged skin: an overview of the in vitro human model.

S S Gattu and H I HI Maibach

Skin Pharmacol Appl Skin Physiol 23(4):171-6 (2010) PMID 20185974

Quantifying percutaneous absorption of topical drugs as well as those compounds relevant to occupational exposure is important for assessing delivery, efficacy and toxicology. Methods for assessing absorption are established for intact skin; however, what may be equally relevant is how much absorption occurs through damaged skin.
