Biocompatible 3D Printed Microneedles for Transdermal, Intradermal, and Percutaneous Applications
Khalil Moussi, Abdullah Bukhamsin, Tania Hidalgo, Jürgen Kosel
Abstract
A high-resolution 3D printing technique is used to create a delivery platform with microneedles and reservoir in a single fabrication step, which enables customization of shape, dimensions, needle count, volume etc. The platform is biocompatible and its capabilities are evaluated by penetration and delivery into different layers of mouse skin. Further details can be found in the article number 1901358 by Jurgen Kosel and co-workers.
