Description

Random curved surface polymer microneedle array and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biomedical engineering, and particularly relates to an arbitrarily curved polymer microneedle array and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Subcutaneous injection is widely used for injecting vaccines and injections in clinical practice, but pain feeling during injection is always an unsolved problem, particularly for some special users such as old people, children and the like. In contrast, microneedle-based transdermal delivery allows for minimally invasive contact with the skin, minimizing access to the dermal cortex and nerve endings, and thus significantly reducing sampling pain. The application of microneedle array technology in the fields of drug delivery, medical cosmetology, tissue fluid extraction, and biosensing has attracted increasing attention in recent years. Since the target of action is the human skin surface, microneedles need to be able to conform to rough skin and have a certain mechanical strength to pierce the stratum corneum of the skin.
Common microneedle materials include polymers, silicon, metals, and the like. Polymeric microneedles are generally biosafety high but mechanical strength insufficient to pierce the stratum corneum; although the silicon is hard, it is brittle and easy to break; metals have the advantage of low processing costs but are less biocompatible. The general structure of the microneedle array is composed of solid or hollow microneedle arrays with different shapes and a substrate supporting the microneedle structures. The conventional microneedle array processing method is generally based on semiconductor processes such as photolithography, machining and etching, and methods such as chemical etching or laser micromachining to fabricate single crystal silicon microneedles or metal microneedles, or metal templates of polymer microneedles (CN104970804A, CN101507857A, CN108325065A, etc.). However, these processes are complicated and expensive to manufacture. More importantly, most fabrication processes are directed to planar microneedle arrays (with tips in the same plane). However, the skin surface of the human body is not flat but has undulation and elasticity. The planar microneedle array has the problems of uneven stress on human skin, incomplete insertion of microneedles into the stratum corneum and the like, and the application range is not wide. More and more researches are focused on manufacturing microneedles with the same height on a flexible or curved substrate to be attached to a fluctuant human body surface, the microneedles can be relatively and completely inserted into a skin cuticle, but the problems that the curved substrate is complex in processing process and uneven in stress during use still exist, for example, when the microneedle patch is torn off, the microneedles on the side edge can be more easily broken due to larger shearing force and even remain in the skin; and when the skin is faced with some narrow folds, the insufficient elasticity or curvature of the curved surface of the substrate can also cause partial microneedles to be incapable of penetrating the skin completely. Therefore, developing a simpler and lower-cost manufacturing method to prepare curved microneedle arrays in batches would be of great value for practical application of microneedle technology.
