Abstract:
Cancer is uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. It forms tumors which if untreated grow larger destroying the healthy cells in the body. The advent of MEMS technology has led to the evolution of a new class of drug delivery systems for various cancer types, that has in turn improved the efficiency and the consent of patients. To the world of pharmaceutical industry the utmost priority is the efficacy of drug delivery and better administration of drugs with least side effects. The techniques and methods of drug delivery have shown immense potential in such administration of drugs with MEMS having come into the existence. Implantable drug delivery systems, Microneedles, Microvalves and Micropumps are all designed and fabricated on the microscale which makes them perform much better than the convention drug delivery systems, since the prior ones target specifically the affected or disease bearing cells or sites. There are various microdevices that have been designed in such a way that they can release drugs either serially or parallely and at a controlled rate and controlled time as well. This paper basically discusses about the MEMS based drug delivery devices and their features.
