Description

Silicon-based ice microneedle and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of silicon-based microneedles, and particularly relates to a silicon-based microneedle and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Transdermal administration is an important mode of administration, which avoids gastrointestinal disturbances, prolongs the onset of action, reduces side effects and simplifies the administration process. Various devices have been developed for effective transdermal drug delivery, in which microneedles can penetrate the epidermis without contacting capillaries and nerve endings, thereby facilitating absorption of the drug in a painless, minimally invasive manner. Due to these excellent properties, microneedles are widely used.
Microneedles can be classified into solid microneedles, coated microneedles, soluble microneedles, hollow microneedles, and the like according to different administration modes. In the prior art, micron-sized pores are formed on the surface of skin after the solid micro-needle is inserted and removed, the pores can be convenient for the medicine preparation to pass through, so that the medicine preparation has the function of skin pretreatment under the local action of the skin or through the absorption of capillary vessels of the skin, and the medicine can be applied to the pores on the surface of the skin after the micro-needle pretreats the skin so as to achieve the aim of transdermal administration; the coated microneedle coats the drug on the surface of the microneedle to carry the drug, but the drug loading is low due to the coating method and the drug loading property; the soluble micro-needle is directly made into a needle shape by using a soluble high molecular material, and carries the medicine in the needle shape, but due to the influence of the material performance, the soluble micro-needle has poor mechanical property and can not puncture a skin area with thicker cuticle; the hollow microneedle can directly feed the drug through the hollow microneedle, but has higher manufacturing cost and manufacturing difficulty, and the mechanical property of the needle head is poorer and the needle head is easy to break because the needle head is of a hollow structure.
