findings, augmenting the current literature of MNs. Overall, the optimized process provides a wide range of solid MN types that would be utilized for either epidermis or dermis targeting to current transdermal drug delivery studies.
Solid Microneedles
Despite the significance of microneedles for drug delivery, high‐cost, limited‐geometries, and complex fabrication are still hampering their expansion. Xenon difluoride (XeF2) dry etching precisely manufactures thousands of microneedles with tunable dimensions and geometries on a single patch. Confirming their penetration with skin models and numerical analyses, these microneedles hold significant potential for noninvasive, pain‐free, and effective drug delivery studies.
