“We believe many promising therapeutic agents are constrained not simply by the molecule, but by the limitations of how that molecule reaches its intended target. Our intellectual property strategy is focused on the delivery problem.”

The Portfolio

Six Principal Areas

How Vector’s 15 patent applications are organized, what each area covers, and what it is intended to be used for.

  1. 01

    Advanced Therapeutic & Peptide Delivery

    Multi-route technologies for delivering peptides, biologics and other complex agents through non-gastrointestinal and non-traditional pathways, including transdermal, iontophoretic and lyophilized reconstitution-based systems.

    Intended use: peptide formulations that are difficult to administer orally or systemically.

  2. 02

    Deep-Tissue Transdermal Delivery

    Interferential-hybrid iontophoresis systems that combine tissue pre-conditioning, electrically driven therapeutic transport and retention phases.

    Intended use: non-invasive delivery to deep musculoskeletal and peripheral nerve targets.

  3. 03

    Opioid-Sparing & Localized Pain Management

    Lyophilized multimodal analgesic compositions, integrated reconstitution kits and localized administration technologies, including atomized catheter-based delivery during surgery.

    Intended use: targeted perioperative pain management, the foundation of VectorMist™ and The LASSO Protocol™.

  4. 04

    Precision Pancreatic Oncology

    EUS-guided multimodal therapy, microneedle-tipped intratumoral delivery, conductivity- and impedance-guided treatment, transarterial pancreatic delivery and anchored catheter systems.

    Intended use: sustained, locoregional delivery of therapy directly to pancreatic tumors.

  5. 05

    Regenerative Medicine & Tissue Repair

    Non-invasive systems, including peptide-based regenerative technologies, for delivering regenerative agents.

    Intended use: musculoskeletal and peripheral nerve repair.

  6. 06

    Advanced Smart Wound Care

    Integrated wound-healing technologies combining responsive therapeutic release, oxygenation, multi-wavelength phototherapy and real-time wound monitoring.

    Intended use: automated wound-treatment platforms.

Announced Filings

Provisional Patent Applications

Filings Vector has announced individually, newest first.

August 20, 2026

Integrated Platform for Orthopedic Tissue Regeneration Using Peptides

A provisional application with the USPTO covering an integrated platform that pairs tissue-repair peptides with the patient’s own platelet-rich plasma or platelet-rich fibrin, with adjunct formulations sequenced so routine orthopedic pain and infection agents interfere less with repair cells.

Intended use: improving tissue healing across orthopedic surgical care.
