Design and simulation of MEMS-based insulin micro-pump with integrated micro-needle array
… 1 and 2 is the administering Insulin. Single needle mechanical insulin pumps are heavy and painful. A generation of micro-needle-based MEMS-based drug delivery devices can be an excellent solution for insulin dosing. The stackable structure provides minimum dimensions and makes the final …

Instrumentation to characterize needle insertion into biological tissue
… to deliver drugs through the human skin using micro needles. It is crucial to characterize the insertion of micro needles into biological tissues. Hence, instrumentation will be designed and fabricated for the characterization of micro needle insertion. This thesis focuses on the design and …

The development of a minimally invasive glucose sensing system
… patients. The device will consist of an array of micro-needles that penetrates only the stratum corneum layer of the skin and tests glucose levels in the interstitial fluid (IF). This device does not reach the depth of the nerve endings, and so provides a painless means of glucose measurement. …

3D scaffolds for tissue engineering produced by microfabrication technology
… of tissue engineering scaffolds with regular micrometric geometry by using an in-house built microfabrication system. Poly(D,L-lactic acid) (PDLA), poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and chitosan scaffolds presenting homogeneously distributed 100 Âμm size pores were fabricated. …
