Hollow Microneedle Arrays Produced by Low‐Cost, High‐Fidelity Replication of Hypodermic Needle Tips for High‐Dose Transdermal Drug Delivery
Source abstract
Abstract
Hollow microneedle arrays (HMN), which exhibit advantages like safety in use, painlessness, high drug loading, precise administration and convenience of connecting to external devices, have been massively produced via a simple, low-cost and high-fidelity replication strategy. The as-obtained HMN could be integrated onto a microfluidic chip with different microchannels, and the microfluidic chip could be further applied to fabricate a bundle device by attaching the chip to a looped zip tie. By using this zip tie, vaccines or drugs could be loaded in a convenient way, as described in the article, number 2001355, by Jianhua Zhou and co-workers.
