SUBSTANCE SAMPLING AND/OR SUBSTANCE DELIVERY VIA SKIN

摘要

In a technique for substance sampling and/or substance delivery via the skin barrier, the skin is domed and then a portion removed. Typically a contact portion of the apparatus effects doming of the skin and a cutting, grazing or scraping arrangement removes a portion of the domed skin. The doming of the skin and hence the skin removal is closely controlled. Samples may be taken via the removed portion of the skin and/or substances delivered therethrough.
