Swelling Microneedle Technology

How It Works

Swelling microneedles absorb fluid after insertion and form hydrogel pathways that can support transdermal delivery while allowing the microneedle structure to be removed after use.

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.

• Swelling and transport behavior
• Structure integrity after use
• Payload and dose considerations

Evaluation and Scale-Up

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