The micro-needle technology is mainly characterized in that the traditional medicine intake mode mainly comprises oral administration, smearing and injection, but the oral administration medicine has a first-pass metabolism effect, the digestion and decomposition of liver and intestines and stomach can reduce a plurality of medicine effects, the absorption of the medicine is greatly limited by the skin barrier when the medicine is smeared, the injection mode is the most direct and efficient, and the process brings great fear and pain to patients; researchers have begun considering the way in which the skin barrier is opened by means of tools to re-deliver drugs, evolving to the technology of microneedle transdermal delivery.
The most common microneedle at present is an array formed by arranging a plurality of metal needles, the length of the needles is 0.5-3mm, the penetration depth reaches the dermis layer, the pain is obvious when the microneedle is used, the microneedle is generally matched with epidermis dressing, bleeding is accompanied in the process, the density of the microneedle is low due to the limitation of a processing technology, and less than 100 channels can be formed in each penetration. The advanced micro-needle is prepared by processing monocrystalline silicon material, and the most tip diameter can be smaller than 1 micron by adopting processing technologies such as semiconductor photoetching, etching and the like. Silicon microneedles are typically 0.1-0.3mm in length, primarily for epidermal layer penetration, because blood vessels and most nerves of the dermis layer are avoided, the use is generally painless or slightly painful, and without bleeding, hundreds of penetration channels can be formed per penetration. Silicon microneedles are also often used as injection molds to further prepare soluble microneedle patch products by a flip-mold injection process.
