Abstract

Microneedle patches, with needles of sub-millimeter size, are non-invasive and pain free way of drug delivery. The needles penetrate skin, pass stratum corneum, but do not penetrate tissue which contains nerves and blood vessels. In this work, a new and unique chitosan-hydrogel based composite material was formulated to produce microneedle patches and their potency for extended drug delivery was validated using methylene blue as a model drug.
