Abstract
Microneedle arrays are patches of needles at micro- and nano-scale, which are competent and versatile technologies that have been merged with microfluidic systems to construct more capable devices for biomedical applications, such as drug delivery, wound healing, biosensing, and sampling body fluids. In this paper, several designs and applications are reviewed. In addition, modeling approaches used in microneedle designs for fluid flow and mass transfer are discussed, and the challenges are highlighted.
