Control Normal Transdermal Drug Delivery (NT) Transdermal Drug Delivery by Pad (PT) Nano-Needle Drug Delivery (NN) Micro-Needle Drug Delivery (MN)
No drug applied. 5 µl of the drug solution was applied to the surface of the porcine skin. A rubber ring was used to confine the liquid. 80 µl of the drug was dripped onto a 1 cm diameter cotton pad and then the pad was applied to the porcine skin surface. A nano-needle patch (Nano needle, Konmison) was used to create nano-scale holes on the surface of the porcine skin and then a cotton pad with 80 µl drug was applied. Same as NN but used a micro-needle patch (9-pin microneedle, Konmison) instead.
