Abstract

Drug delivery devices that have a flexible film, an array of nanoscopic, porous needles attached to a surface of the flexible film, and a therapeutic drug cargo loaded onto the needles. The drug delivery device may be applied to living tissue such that the surface of the flexible film contacts the living tissue and some or all of the needles are inserted into the tissue. The flexible film may then be dissolved while leaving the needles inserted in the tissue. The needles degrade in the living tissue over time causing release of the therapeutic drug cargo loaded onto the needles.
