Assessment of leachables and extractables in “super-swelling” hydrogel-forming microarray patches
Abstract
Hydrogel-forming microarray patches (MAPs) offer a minimally invasive platform for transdermal drug delivery, enabling systemic absorption of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Unlike dissolving MAPs, which deposit their entire polymer matrix into the skin, hydrogel-forming MAPs remain…
