摘要:
A microprojection array having at least first and second microprojections, the first and second microprojections having inner and outer faces, the first microprojection inner face being disposed substantially parallel to the second microprojection inner face; and a biocompatible coating disposed on the first and second microprojection inner faces, the first and second microprojections being adapted to substantially restrict contact of the coating with biological tissue during insertion of the first and second microprojections into the tissue.
摘要:
A substantially conical shaped microprojection having a wall defining an interior region, said microprojection wall including a plurality of openings; and a biocompatible coating disposed on the interior region of the microprojection. In a preferred embodiment, the microprojection is formed by deforming a region of a substantially planar sheet.
摘要:
A porous microprojection member for insertion into biological tissue surrounded by interstitial fluid having a wall that includes interior and exterior surfaces, the exterior surface substantially enclosing the interior surface; and a biocompatible coating disposed on the interior surface, the microprojection member being adapted to substantially restrict contact of the coating with the tissue during insertion of the microprojection member into the tissue, the microprojection member having sufficient porosity to allow migration of the interstitial fluid through the wall of the microprojection member.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for transdermally delivering a biologically active agent to prevent or treat osteopenia, comprising a delivery system having a microprojection member (or system) that includes a plurality of microprojections (or array thereof) that are adapted to pierce through the stratum corneum into the underlying epidermis layer, or epidermis and dermis layers. In one embodiment, the PTH-based agent is contained in a biocompatible coating that is applied to the microprojection member.

摘要:
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.
