Toward Self‐Powered Wearable Adhesive Skin Patch with Bendable Microneedle Array for Transdermal Drug Delivery
نویسندگان
چکیده
A wearable adhesive skin patch for transdermal drug delivery is developed with bendable microneedles, dry adhesive and triboelectric energy harvester (TEH). The bendable microneedle array can overcome the needle breakage issue. The dry adhesive can realize a conformal attachment. The TEH can generate power when attached on flat skin or joint to power active components to be integrated in the future.

Fabrication of polymeric microneedle arrays containing Amphotericin-B for transdermal drug delivery
Background and Aim: Drug delivery through the microneedle array has been considered as an easy and non-invasive method in recent years. The purpose of this study was to design and construct an array of biodegradable polymeric microneedles containing Amphotericin-B to introduce this system and its use in the treatment of cutaneous lesions caused by Leishmania major parasite inoculation as a mode...
متن کاملFlexible and Stretchable Microneedle Patches with Integrated Rigid Stainless Steel Microneedles for Transdermal Biointerfacing
This paper demonstrates flexible and stretchable microneedle patches that combine soft and flexible base substrates with hard and sharp stainless steel microneedles. An elastomeric polymer base enables conformal contact between the microneedle patch and the complex topography and texture of the underlying skin, while robust and sharp stainless steel microneedles reliably pierce the outer layers...
متن کاملOptimising microneedle arrays to increase skin permeability for transdermal delivery of drugs
Improving drug permeability in skin is considered as one of the most important issues for designing new methods of transdermal drug delivery. Consequently, many techniques have been proposed to more effectively deliver drugs across the stratum corneum, including chemical enhancers or physical enhancer techniques, e.g., iontophoresis and ultrasound. Standard hypodermic injection is an effective ...
متن کاملOptimization of square microneedle arrays for increasing drug permeability in skin
Microneedles array is a new transdermal drug delivery technique designed to create holes in 15 the epidermis and penetrate the stratum corneum, thus avoiding the high resistance of this barrier. Microneedles have been shown to increase the skin permeability of drugs with no or little pain. However, the skin permeability of epidermis while using microneedle arrays has yet to be fully studied. In...
متن کاملPreparation and Characterization of Rivastigmine Transdermal Patch Based on Chitosan Microparticles
Here we report a novel approach for preparation of a 6-day transdermal drug delivery system (TDDS) as treatment for mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease. The spray drying method was used to prepare microparticles containing the anti-Alzheimer drug. The content of the drug was determined by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) method. The morphology and size range of the microparticles ...
