New Microneedle Antimicrobial Techniques May Foster Medical Tech Innovation
In ScienceDaily a note describes how a team led by researchers from North Carolina State University has developed two new approaches for incorporating antimicrobial properties into microneedles -- vanishingly thin needles that hold great promise for use in portable medical devices.
Dr. Roger Narayan, lead author of the research. "For example, microneedles could be used as a relatively pain-free and user-friendly alternative to conventional needles in diabetes treatment."
