Coated Microneedle Technology

How It Works

Coated microneedles apply an active-containing layer to the surface of a water-insoluble microneedle structure, supporting rapid release and low-dose delivery concepts.

Potential Applications

Potential use is assessed against payload, dose, intended application and product-pathway requirements.

Key Development Considerations

Formulation, mechanics, insertion, delivery performance and scale-up must be evaluated as a connected system.

• Coating uniformity and loading
• Rapid release requirements
• Coated-tip integrity

Evaluation and Scale-Up

Project-appropriate methods and process studies are selected according to the intended product and agreed scope.
