METHOD FOR COATING SKIN PIERCING MICROPROJECTIONS

摘要

An apparatus (10) and method are provided for selectively applying an agentcontaining liquid coating to extremely tiny skin piercing microprojections (12) . The coating solution is applied to the skin piercing microprojections (12) using a coating technique which selectively coats only predetermined portions the skin piercing microprojections (12) . By the use of various photoresists and hydrophobic coatings, a defined and precise portion of the microprojections and/or the microprojection (12) . arrays can be coat ed with an agent formulation.
