  • Methods and apparatuses for forming microprojection arrays
    Publication number: 20030199810
    Abstract: A method for producing a device for piercing a body surface is disclosed. A sheet (200) is provided having opposite first and second faces. A plurality of microprojections (304) and openings (302) are formed through the first and second faces of the sheet (200). The first face of the sheet (200) is positioned adjacent a die (402) having a plurality of cavities (404) corresponding to the plurality of microprojections (304) of the sheet (200) in such a way that each of the microprojections (304) of the sheet (200) is positioned adjacent a corresponding cavity (404) of the die (402). An elastomeric material (410) is then forced against a second face of the sheet (200) and into the cavities (404) of the die (402) to deflect the microprojections (304) of the sheet (200) into the cavities (404) of the die (402).
