Microneedle Technology Platforms

What Are Microneedles?

Microneedles are micron-scale needle structures, typically ranging from 25 to 2000 micrometers in height, designed to pierce the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of the skin) without reaching pain receptors or blood vessels. This enables pain-free, safe, and effective transdermal drug delivery. Microneedles can be fabricated from a variety of materials including polymers, metals, ceramics, and hydrogels, depending on the desired functionality and therapeutic objective. Microneedles combine the advantages of both topical and injectable drug delivery systems, allowing for controlled drug release, improved patient compliance, and minimized side effects.

At our company, we have developed a suite of advanced microneedle technology platforms that support the effective delivery of a wide range of therapeutic agents.

Our Microneedle Technology Platforms

We offer a comprehensive portfolio of microneedle technologies, each tailored to specific delivery needs:

Applications of Microneedle Technology

Microneedle technology has shown great promise in various fields due to its minimally invasive nature and ability to deliver substances through the skin.

• Drug Delivery: Microneedles can be used to deliver drugs painlessly through the skin. This is especially useful for vaccines and biologics that are usually administered via injections.
• Vaccination: They enable easier and potentially more effective vaccination methods as microneedles can deliver vaccines that dissolve within the skin, facilitating immune response.
• Diagnostics: Microneedles can extract interstitial fluid or other biomarkers for diagnostic purposes, potentially replacing some blood tests.
• Cosmetic Treatments: In dermatology, microneedles are used for scar treatment, skin rejuvenation, and delivering cosmetic agents like anti-aging serums.
• Gene Therapy: Emerging applications include delivering genetic material directly to cells for gene therapy.
• Pain Management: They offer targeted delivery of pain-relief drugs with minimal systemic effects.
• Hormone Replacement: Delivering hormones like insulin or contraceptives in a controlled manner.

Advantages of Microneedle Technology

The adoption of microneedle-based drug delivery systems brings multiple benefits over traditional methods:

• Minimally Invasive: Reduced pain and no need for trained personnel for administration.
• Improved Compliance: Especially beneficial for pediatric and geriatric populations.
• Enhanced Bioavailability: Direct delivery into systemic circulation bypasses first-pass metabolism.
• Versatility: Capable of delivering a wide range of drugs — from small molecules to biologics and nanoparticles.
• Scalability: Suitable for both low-cost mass production and high-precision customized fabrication.
