Abstract
A receptacle, which may be suitable for use as a portion of a transdermal drug delivery apparatus, may include a housing for being fastened to the user, a force provider that is elastic, at least one deformable component, and a microneedle assembly movably mounted to the housing for moving inwardly and outwardly relative to the housing. The force provider may be positioned between the housing and the microneedle assembly for forcing the microneedle assembly outwardly relative to the housing and against the skin of the user. The at least one deformable component may be connected between the microneedle assembly and the housing for both allowing relative movement between the microneedle assembly and the housing, and at least partially restricting the microneedle assembly from falling away from the housing. An arresting member may be positioned between the housing and the microneedle assembly for restricting any movement of at least tips of microneedles of the microneedle assembly into an interior of the housing.
