ABSTRACT:
The present invention includes device, system, method of using and making a microneedle array including the steps of forming one or more pins on a substrate, depositing one or more layers on the one or more pins and the substrate, exposing a portion of the one or more pins, and separating the one or more pins from the one or more layers to form the hollow microneedle array.
