Microneedles are microscale needle-shaped devices that have attracted attention from the biomedical engineering community for transdermal drug delivery, sensing, and vaccine delivery. These devices do not inflict significant discomfort during skin penetration. Microneedles have recently been used to detect physiologically relevant molecules in interstitial fluid for health monitoring. In this review, technical challenges associated with microneedle processing are considered. The mechanical requirements associated with microneedle penetration of the skin are described. The use of polymers, bioceramics, and natural materials in microneedle fabrication is described. Recent uses of microneedles in biosensing, drug delivery, and vaccine delivery are described.
