摘要：
The present disclosure provides low-profile systems and methods for delivering a microneedle array. A delivery system includes a housing that may be secured to and temporarily worn on a patient's skin. A carrier assembly coupled to a microneedle array is received in the housing proximate a stored energy device. The stored energy device can be designed to store a predetermined amount of potential energy that is greater or substantially greater than the energy necessary to release said energy. As the stored energy device is potentially capable of releasing substantially more energy than is required to cause the release, the amount of normal force applied to the skin can be minimized while sufficient application velocity is still generated.
