Transdermal drug delivery device with microneedle assembly and reservoir
A newly granted patent (Publication Number: US11883622B2) discloses a drug delivery device designed to administer medication through microneedles. The device comprises an outer housing with upper and lower portions, a microneedle assembly, a reservoir containing the drug formulation, a plunger, and a pushing element. In the un-actuated position, the microneedle assembly is recessed and spaced from the user's skin, while in the actuated position, the plunger moves to apply a force that brings the microneedle assembly into direct contact with the skin, allowing the drug formulation to be delivered effectively.
The patent also details variations of the drug delivery device, including different configurations of the reservoir, the transmission of force through the microneedle assembly without increasing pressure in the reservoir, and the use of a pushing element such as a spring to facilitate the movement of the device from un-actuated to actuated positions. The device is designed to ensure precise and controlled delivery of medication, with the force applied by the pushing element being transmitted through the reservoir to the microneedle assembly without affecting the pressure of the drug formulation. Additionally, the device features a housing with upper and lower portions, allowing the microneedle assembly to move independently, and includes mechanisms to prevent the transmission of force through certain regions of the device for optimal functionality.
