6. The future of microfluidics for drug delivery
Microfluidics can also be used at a later stage, when drugs are administered to the patient (figure 1 ). This technology has already been studied for a number of different routes of administration.
6.1 Transdermal administration
The microfluidic dimension of transdermal delivery devices lies either in the fluid handling system or in the use of microneedles. The major advantages of the latter are that they are painless, can be used without qualified...
