Flow-Generating Microneedles Enable Fast Injection of Drugs and Vaccines
Microneedles with lots of painless needles are expected to spread rapidly in the beauty field and be used more for self-medication and simple vaccine administration, which are the cornerstones of remote medical treatment. However, conventional methods of applying (or encapsulating) a drug or vaccine to a microneedle and eluting them after skin prick have limited injection volume and speed. The inventors have developed a porous microneedle (PMN), which imparts an electrical "flow" (electroosmotic flow) that allows for high volume and high speed injection with an electric "microneedle pump" and rapid collection of subcutaneous tissue fluid.
