Abstract : Various drugs and vaccines are administered through the subcutaneous pathway. The adipose cells within the subcutaneous layer impart structural anisotropy. We address the mechanical response of the adipose tissue in terms of the computed stress fields to understand the pain a patient realizes. Tissue anisotropy instigates the interstitial fluid to generate one or more eddies. Eddies help a low viscous injected drug homogenize when the skin pinching height is high at the injection apply area.
