The needle-based ABSTRACT: This article presents a miniature shock wave driven micro-jet generator to deliver liquid drugs into human skin, to a drug administration into skin can be extremely painful for the controlled depth, with minimal invasion. The device can release the patients, besides the concerns of contamination and disposal. vaccine/drug to the depth of dermal blood vessels, without Alleviation of fear of needles and the associated trauma has been the breaching much of the microcirculation system of dermis. The drug main motivation for the development of needle-free, subcutaneous delivery technique is needle-free, which can reduce pain, trauma, delivery systems for the transfer of pharmaceutical agents into skin and contamination besides minimal dosage and systemic exposure. The device can also be used to deliver liquid or colloidal drugs into (Arora
