Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, the common preparation methods of microneedle arrays include microtemplate method, lithography method, and droplet blowing method, among which the microtemplate method is the most widely used; however, since microneedle templates usually have tiny concave parts and high aspect ratios, If the bubbles cannot be discharged due to air and surface tension, the quality of the microneedles will be uneven, and even a complete microneedle array cannot be prepared, so centrifugation and vacuuming are usually used to discharge the bubbles.
However, the centrifugation method is cumbersome to operate and has low efficiency; although the vacuum method has high efficiency, it has high requirements on the viscosity and time of the microneedle material, uneven microneedle formation, and a high failure rate

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of micro-needles and particularly relates to a micro-needle template, a preparation method of the micro-needle template, and a method for preparing a micro-needle array by using the micro-needle template. The preparation method of the micro-needle template comprises the following steps of 1, mixing polydimethylsiloxane with a curing agent, uniformly stirring a mixture, and placing the mixture in a negative pressure environment; 2, heating and solidifying the mixture to obtain a polydimethylsiloxane substrate; and 3, cutting the polydimethylsiloxanesubstrate into a template with a target size, and performing laser etching treatment to obtain the micro-needle template. According to the preparation method of the micro-needle template, the micro-needle template is prepared by adopting an etching technology, and the shape and the size of the template cavity can be controlled by adjusting laser parameters so as to design micro-needle templates with different structures.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microneedles, and in particular relates to a microneedle template and a preparation method thereof, and a method for preparing a microneedle array by using the microneedle template. Background technique [0002] Traditional drug delivery methods mainly include oral administration and injection. For the delivery of proteins and other drugs, oral administration has many deficiencies. The first-pass effect of the liver reduces the amount of drug entering the body fluid circulation and reduces the efficacy of the drug; while subcutaneous injection The patient's compliance is low, and it is easy to cause the double pressure of the patient's body and mind. In recent years, the emerging microneedle transdermal drug delivery system has attracted more and more attention due to its advantages of convenience, painlessness and minimal invasiveness; this system can effectively avoid the degradation of digestive enzyme...
