Hardware-Microneedle patch

Our hardware design is centered around a carrier delivery system. Within this framework, we have developed an innovative microneedle patch that utilizes hydrogel as a medium. Its unique structure and materials facilitate the continuous and gentle delivery of plasmids encapsulated in the carrier, effectively transporting therapeutic agents to skin cells to achieve the desired treatment outcomes.

A key feature of this microneedle patch is its hollow needle design, which enables effective loading and release of the hydrogel. It not only maintains the stability of the plasmids but also regulates the release rate, allowing for prolonged delivery. This sustained release mechanism ensures that therapeutic agents can gradually penetrate the skin over the necessary time period, maximizing efficacy while minimizing side effects.
