  • Microprojection arrays with improved biocompatibility
    Publication number: 20060204562
    Abstract: A transdermal delivery member having a plurality of microprojections adapted to pierce the stratum corneum of a subject, each of the microprojection having a length less than 145 microns. In a preferred embodiment, each microprojection has a length in the range of approximately 50-145 microns.

  • Apparatus and method for piercing skin with microprotrusions
    Publication number: 20060142691
    Abstract: A method and device are described for applying a microprotrusion member (44) including a plurality of microprotrusions (90) to the stratum corneum with impact. The method and device are used to improve transport of an agent across the skin for agent delivery or sampling. The applicator (10, 60, 80) causes the microprotrusion member (44) to impact the stratum corneum with a certain amount of impact determined to effectively pierce the skin with the microprotrusions (90). The preferred applicator (10, 60, 80) impacts the stratum corneum with the microprotrusion member (44) with an impact of at least 0.05 joules per cm2 of the microprotrusion member (44) in 10 msec or less.
