Abstract
Methods of manufacturing tissue interfacing components, such as solid needles comprising one or more therapeutic agents, are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method for manufacturing a tissue interfacing component comprises compressing a granular therapeutic agent within a mold cavity of a mold to form a solid tissue interfacing component. The mold cavity may define an elongated shape extending along a longitudinal axis from an opening of the mold cavity to a distal end of the mold cavity, and the granular therapeutic agent may be compressed by moving a mold punch along the longitudinal axis towards the distal end. After compressing the granular therapeutic agent to form the solid tissue interfacing component, the tissue interfacing component may be removed from the mold and subsequently inserted into tissue to deliver the therapeutic agent to a subject.
