Representative digital micrographs illustrative of the dissolution of RPV LA MAP at specific time points (0, 5 and 24 h) in excised neonatal porcine skin. Digital micrograph of a RPV LA MAP prior to insertion into skin (A). Digital micrograph of a RPV LA MAP upon removal from the skin after an insertion time of 5 h and OCT image of the resulting microconduits in the porcine skin following MAP removal (B). Digital image and micrograph of porcine skin upon removal of RPV LA MAP post-24 h insertion with RPV LA visible in the microconduits which were created in the skin (C).
