Dissolving microneedles offer several advantages over traditional hypodermic needles. They are minimally invasive and cause little to no pain, making them particularly suitable for patients with needle phobia. Additionally, the risk of needle-stick injuries is eliminated, and the absence of sharps waste reduces environmental impact. Importantly, dissolving microneedles can also improve the stability and shelf-life of vaccines and drugs, as they can be stored in a dry form without refrigeration.
