About the webinar
Microneedles (MNs) offer an effective method for enhancing drug penetration into the skin by mechanically disrupting the skin barrier. However, traditional MN preparation methods are time-consuming, requiring special moulds and extensive labour.
Using 3D printing (3DP) can revolutionizes MN production by significantly reducing time and allowing for easy customization of shape and size. Yet, the challenge arises with drug solubility in the printing resin, especially if water is the primary solvent.
In this webinar Professor Lamprou, will provide examples from his research Lab in the manufacturing of 3D printed MNs (e.g., solid, dissolving, and hollow) using the Lumen X bioprinter.
Join us to learn about:
- 3D printing in the manufacturing of Microneedles.
- Hollow Microneedle Arrays for drug delivery and diagnostics.
- Dissolving microneedles on the delivery of APIs.
