US Patent 10195410 Fabrication process of phase-transition microneedle patch

The application discloses a method to fabricate microneedle patches, comprising a) casting (painting and pasting) an aqueous polymer solution on a mold of array of micro-holes which is made of porous materials; b) sucking the polymer solution into the micro-holes by applying vacuum at the back of the mold; d) freezing and thawing the casted polymer solution to induce gelation; and e) drying the gelled polymer solution. Specifically, the present invention describes a process and composition of polymeric microneedlepatch which overcomes the limitations of existing microneedles systems and may be used for transdermal delivery system for therapeutics and other applications.
