Cover Story: To overcome the limitations associated with conventional therapy of age-related macular degeneration, one of the leading causes of blindness in industrialised countries involving intravitreal drug injections, magnesium-based drug delivery devices represent a high-potential solution. Currently, the suitable manufacturing technology for this novel system prototyping needs to be investigated. In particular, the critical aspect in its realisation is closely linked to its small dimensions and the presence of cavities, which provide drug housings with a very high depth-to-diameter ratio. In this paper, the mechanism of deep-hole microdrilling of pure Mg, which plays an interesting role in the field of biomaterials, was experimentally investigated to find a suitable setup for this new intraocular drug delivery device and other prototyping of biomedical devices. View this paper
