A Comparative Analysis of Microneedle Design for Transdermal Drug Delivery in Biomedical Applications

Abstract

Transdermal drug delivery using micro-electromechanical systems is one of the promising areas in the field of biomedical applications. Among various TDD systems, drug delivery through microneedles is a novel and promising alternative to oral medications and transdermal patches. In this paper, microneedle structures and their interaction with human skin have been analyzed theoretically and through simulation using COMSOL MULTIPHYSICS version 4.2.
