Design and modeling of microneedle integrated with microactuator for drug delivery

Abstract

Today's world has very much demand for the development of microscale devices, due to its less cost, space requirements, high-dimensional stability and especially manufacturing time. In this paper, we have design and simulated MEMS based microactuator and microneedle integration which will be very helpful for blood sampling device like e-mosquito. The dimensions of the modeled beam are of 100 mm long, 30 mm width, 10 mm thickness. This new design model consists of piezoceramic material sandwiched between two metal electrodes and the piezoelectric actuator is made with microneedle which will help for blood sampling purposes. The results after the simulation of this new model present that it will be suitable for blood sampling analysis with aluminum as electrodes and silicon as microneedle.
