Advances in Antimicrobial Microneedle Patches for Combating Infections

Advances in Materials, 2020
Skin infections caused by bacteria, viruses and fungi are difficult to treat by conventional topical administration because of poor drug penetration across the stratum corneum.

Multifunctional Silk Fibroin Methacryloyl Microneedle for Diabetic Wound Healing.

Small, 2022
Diabetic wound is one of the common complications in diabetic patients, which exhibits chronic, hard-to-heal characteristics. The healing process of wounds is impaired by several factors, including excessive oxidative stress, blocked angiogenesis, and ...

Coating Formulations for Microneedles

Pharmaceutical Research, 2007
To develop a rational basis for designing coating solution formulations for uniform and thick coatings on microneedles and to identify coating strategies to form composite coatings, deliver liquid formulations, and control the mass deposited on microneedles.Microneedles were fabricated using laser-cutting and then dip-coated using different aqueous ...

The mechanics of microneedles

Proceedings of the Second Joint 24th Annual Conference and the Annual Fall Meeting of the Biomedical Engineering Society] [Engineering in Medicine and Biology, 2003
We have developed arrays of microscopic needles capable of providing pathways for drug delivery across skin without the pain associated with conventional injections. We measured the force to insert microneedles into human subjects and compared it to the force to cause microneedles to break.

Microneedles and transdermal applications

Expert Opinion on Drug Delivery, 2006
With the limitations of oral drug delivery and the pain and needle phobias associated with traditional injections, drug delivery research has focused on the transdermal delivery route. A formidable barrier to transdermal drug delivery is the stratum corneum, the superficial layer of the skin.

Microneedle

2010
The application relates to microfluidic needles and their manufacturing methods. The microfluidic needle comprises an interface portion containing at least one fluid communication channel, an elongated needle portion (40) projecting away from the interface portion (44), the needle portion having a tip and sidewalls connecting the tip to the interface ...

Microneedles: Bench to Bedside

Therapeutic Delivery, 2015
Microneedles are tiny micron-sized structures, made of a variety of materials, used to minimally disrupt the outermost layer of the skin for enhancing the delivery of therapeutic molecules across the skin. They are sufficiently long enough just to breach the stratum corneum barrier but too short to reach the nerve endings that perceive pain.
