A review of MEMS drug delivery in medical application

  • Conference paper
3rd Kuala Lumpur International Conference on Biomedical Engineering 2006

Part of the book series: IFMBE Proceedings ((IFMBE,volume 15))

Abstract

This paper overviews various components of MEMS drug delivery devices in medical application such as micropumps, microvalves, microactuator and microneedles, using biocompatible material such as silicon. The review will focus on micropumps structures in different actuators. The electrostatic actuated micropumps and circular bossed membrane were found out to be the most suitable device for medical application and offer better linearity pumping rate respectively.
