摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for fabricating a microneedle which comprises the steps of spraying a composition into a mould, drying the composition and removal of the dried composition from the mould, thereby forming a microneedle that, when applied to the skin of a subject, pierces the stratum corneum to access the underlying tissue of the subject. The present invention also relates to a method for coating a microneedle which comprises the steps of spraying a composition onto a microneedle and drying the composition at an ambient temperature, thereby forming a coated microneedle that, when applied to the skin of a subject, pierces the stratum corneum to deliver the sprayed material to the underlying tissue of the subject.
