Transdermal drug delivery using a porous microneedle device driven by a hydrogel electroosmotic pump

Abstract

Integrating a hydrogel electroosmotic pump with a parylene C-coated porous microneedle (PMN) is developed for transdermal drug delivery applications. The hydrogel pump is fabricated by combining an anionic and a cationic hydrogel to generate enhanced electroosmosis flow (EOF) to drive the transportation of molecules via PMN.
