Design, simulation and analysis of micro electro-mechanical system microneedle for micropump in drug delivery systems.

This article reports on the mechanical strength analysis and flow characteristics of square tip and circular tip microneedles by employing highly potent drugs that are given in extremely little quantity (microlitres) using MEMS technology, which proves to be a significant component of micropump in the application of Bio-MEMS. These microneedles are well suitable for a MEMS-based micropump in the drug delivery systems. It is an essential part of the micropump through which the drug is released into the patient's body.
