3D Printing of Reservoir Devices for Oral Drug Delivery: From Concept to Functionality through Design Improvement for Enhanced Mucoadhesion

So far, microdevices for oral drug delivery have been fabricated as square or cylindrical reservoir structures with a localized and unidirectional release. The fabrication is usually carried out using sophisticated and costly microfabrication techniques. Here, 3D printing of microreservoirs on sacrificial substrates is presented. This approach allows the devices to be accurately arranged in predetermined patterns, enabling implementation into...
