Microneedles are a platform for transdermal drug delivery. The advantages of microneedles include the delivery of large molecules, painless and less invasive administration of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), ease of administration, and improved drug delivery including dose, delivery rate and efficacy. Microneedles are also effective for vaccine delivery due to the abundance of immune cells in the dermis.

The microneedle applicator set can be used with the microneedle templates to make and apply reproducible and high quality microneedle patches for a variety of therapeutics.

Transdermal delivery of a variety to therapeutics including:

• Nucleic acid delivery
• Vaccine delivery
• Protein or peptide delivery
• Small molecule delivery

The microneedle applicator set is specifically designed for applying microneedle patches on the skin. It uses a spring to provide consistent impact force. The transparent cone is engineered to fixate and stretch the skin for effective skin penetration by microneedles. Microneedle patches are affixed on the button, which will be loaded onto the applicator using a loader. The loader and its cap have vent holes to allow effective EO or steam sterilization.
