Description

Multi-type Micro Needle {MULTI TYPE MICRO-NEEDLE}

Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a multi-type micro needle patch, and more particularly, to a micro needle patch that attaches to a skin and delivers a drug-like substance to the skin.

Drug delivery system (DDS) refers to a series of techniques for delivering a substance having pharmacological activity to cells, tissues, organs and organs using various physicochemical techniques.

Drug delivery systems are most commonly used for oral administration of drugs, while transcutaneous delivery systems deliver drugs to a portion of the body. Among them, a drug delivery method using a syringe has been widely used for a long time by a method of delivering a liquid drug through a hole in a patient's skin with a metal needle.

However, the drug delivery system using a syringe has a disadvantage in that it causes pain to the patient when the drug is injected and also causes the patient to be infected due to the inconvenience of repeated inoculation and reuse of the injection needle due to the lack of management of the syringe have.

In addition, since the above method requires an inoculator having knowledge of the use of a syringe, there is a disadvantage in that the patient can not administer the drug using a syringe.

Therefore, in recent years, a micro-sized percutaneous transmission type micro needle which is much smaller than a pen-type syringe has been made and used for improving a drug delivery system using a syringe.

The micro needle is a system that physically punches holes in the stratum corneum and delivers the drug. In 1998, Prousnitz Group of Georgia Institute of Technology developed the micro needle array with silicon device using semiconductor process technology and proposed the possibility of drug delivery Many researches have been actively conducted and various sizes and shapes have been made based on various materials such as metals, polymers, glass and ceramics as well as silicon.

In addition, the micro needle is used for delivery of active substances such as drugs and vaccines in vivo, detection and biopsy of analyte in the body, and also for injecting skin cosmetic substances or drugs into the skin tissue, It is also used for the purpose of extracting the same body fluids. Accordingly, the micro needle can be localized and sustained drug injection, and minimizes pain upon insertion into the skin, which is one of the rapidly increasing drug delivery methods in various fields in recent years.

However, the conventional micro needle has a structural form that does not rapidly spread the drug into the body by the stratum corneum of the skin. 8, the conventional microneedle 10 has a base portion 1 attached to the skin in a state of being placed on an adhesive sheet (not shown), and a base portion 1 protruded on the base portion 1, Since the needle 2 has a simple structure in which the plurality of needles 2 are arranged in a matrix with a predetermined interval on the substrate 1, drug diffusion using transdermal drug delivery is inefficient.

Accordingly, recently, a method of enhancing transdermal drug delivery using a chemical enhancer, iontophoresis, electroporation, ultrasonic wave, and a thermal element has been continuously developed to improve the drug delivery rate However, this not only complicates the manufacturing process of the microneedle but also increases the manufacturing cost of the microneedle. In addition, the microneedle is often unsuitable depending on the form of the drug and causes side effects to the skin.

The base portion 1 of the microneedle 10 is generally manufactured using a mold, and the base portion 1 manufactured by a mold method is subjected to pressurization in a later process. Then, a plurality of needles 2 formed on the base plate 1 can be bent and protruded on the base plate 1 under the pressure of the press.

However, since the conventional micro needle 10 has a structure in which the needles 2 are arranged on the substrate portion 1 at a predetermined interval and in a plurality of positions as described above, the movable mold having a complicated structure, A movable mold having a pressing piece corresponding to and in contact with a plurality of needles 2 must be mounted.

When a plurality of needles 2 are pressed by a press equipped with the movable mold as described above, portions of the substrate portion 1 disposed between the plurality of needles 2 are deformed or damaged due to the influence of the pressing pieces There is a problem.

In particular, when the number of the needles 2 is increased to increase the delivery speed of the drug to be delivered subcutaneously to narrow the distance between the needles 2 very finely, 1 can be easily deformed or broken as it is disposed closer to the pressing piece.

Accordingly, the applicant of the present invention has proposed the present invention in order to solve the above problems, and related prior art documents include Korean Patent Application No. 10-2014-0105686 entitled " Micro needle patch 'and so on.

When the first needle 131 and the second needle 132 are pulled by the force of the substrate 110 separated from the skin by the user larger than the contraction force of the subcutaneous tissue, the first needle 131 and the second needle 132 The needles 132 are forced to separate on the skin together with the substrate portion 110.

However, in an embodiment of the present invention, the cutout part 140 is formed at the connection part between the substrate part 110 and the first needle 131, so that the first needle 122 and the second needle 123 So that the first needle 131 and the second needle 132 can be left under the skin by damping the force provided to the substrate unit 110 so as to be smaller than the contraction force provided by the subcutaneous tissue will be.

The first needle 131 and the second needle 132 can be further adhered to the subcutaneous tissue since the engaging protrusion 132a formed on the second needle 132 can be caught in the subcutaneous tissue . Therefore, when the substrate 110, which is in contact with the skin, is separated on the skin, the connection portion between the first needle 131 and the substrate 110 can be more easily broken by the engagement protrusion 132a .

The first needle 131 and the second needle 132 remaining on the skin can subcutaneously deliver the drug carried on the substrate 110 and also transfer minerals contained in the bioabsorbable metal. That is, as the magnesium, calcium, zinc, and iron components used as bioabsorbable metals are subcutaneously transmitted, mineral components can be supplied to the body.

For reference, bioabsorbable metal has been made commercially in domestic and overseas for the application of magnesium based alloy for orthopedic implants. Bioabsorbable metals applied to orthopedic implants can be decomposed The focus was on reducing speed or improving corrosion resistance.

However, unlike the bioabsorbable metal used for orthopedic surgery, the bioabsorbable metal forming the multi-type micro needle 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention accelerates the decomposition rate in the body, Possible mechanisms can be applied.

For example, magnesium, calcium, and zinc used as bioabsorbable metals have a mechanism of reacting with water and releasing hydrogen gas and decomposing, as shown in the following Chemical Formulas 1 to 3, respectively.

Figure 112016129235250-pat00001

Figure 112016129235250-pat00002

Figure 112016129235250-pat00003

The substrate portion 110 and the needle portion 130 formed of the bioabsorbable metal as described above emit ions and decomposition products under the skin and the hydrogen gas generated by the byproducts provides a swelling effect in the subcutaneous space, Lt; / RTI >

In addition, ZnO and MgCl 2, which are byproducts formed by inserting magnesium and zinc, which are constituents of the bioabsorbable metal, into the living body, remain on the surface of the skin subcutaneously, and the drugs carried on the substrate unit 110 and the needle unit 120 are subcutaneously Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > enhancer < / RTI > Therefore, the substrate portion 110 and the needle portion 130, which are formed of the bioabsorbable metal, can effectively transmit the drug carried by the needle portion 130 to the user.

The shapes of the needle holes 120 and the needle portions 130 formed on the substrate 110 may be patterned on the substrate 110 by a known lithography or etching technique. .

At this time, since the substrate portion 110 formed of a bioabsorbable metal has lower corrosion resistance than a metal material such as stainless steel or iron, the edge of the needle portion 130 is formed by the lithography or etching technique It becomes thinner than the thickness of the original material itself and can be sharpened. That is, at the periphery of the first needle 131 or the second needle 132, a sharp inclined surface having a thickness smaller than the thickness of the first needle 131 or the second needle 132 is formed by the etching according to the lithography or etching technique, Can have a sharp shape.

Also, since the multi-type micro needle 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention has the needle hole 120 having a relatively large diameter or a large area rather than the needle hole formed in the conventional micro needle, Light therapy can also be performed through the ball 120 in parallel.

In other words, even if the substrate 110 is attached to the skin, the user's skin can be exposed to the outside through the plurality of needle holes 120, so that the exposed skin can be used for skin diseases such as skin pain, acne, It is possible to irradiate beneficial light and easily perform the light treatment.

Therefore, the user can be treated by the drug injected into the skin through the needle part 130 and diffused and the light irradiated through the needle hole 120, so that a synergy effect between the drug treatment and the light therapy can be expected have.

For example, in an embodiment of the present invention, light exposed to the skin through the needle hole 120 may be irradiated to the body to receive light therapy, but the present invention is not limited thereto. That is, a skin care substance or a skin treatment substance in a liquid state can be applied to the skin exposed through the needle hole 120 to perform a skin treatment treatment.

In addition, the substrate unit 110 can be brought into close contact with the skin of the user by the needle hole 120.

That is, since the needle hole 120 according to the embodiment of the present invention accommodates the plurality of needle portions 130 in one space, the needle hole formed in the conventional microneedles (only one needle can be accommodated) The user's skin is inserted into the needle hole 120 when the substrate 110 is in contact with the user's skin and a negative pressure is formed at the same time, The portion 110 can be more closely adhered to the skin.

Accordingly, the multi-type micro needle 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention may have a configuration in which the substrate portion 110 can be more closely attached to the user's skin by the needle hole 110. [

Since the multi-type micro needle 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention has a structure in which a plurality of needles are arranged in a predetermined pattern around one needle hole, a plurality of needles are inserted into a predetermined area of the skin, May rapidly diffuse or infiltrate into the subcutaneous tissue.

In the multi-type micro needle 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the substrate portion 110 may have a honeycomb structure by a needle hole 120 formed in the shape of a regular hexagon, It is possible to minimize the deformation or breakage of the substrate portion 110 by the press during the press-pressing process for bending.

In the multi-type micro needle 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the number of the pressing parts provided on the movable mold of the press is not equal to the number of the needle parts 130, So that it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost of the movable mold of the press, and as a result, the manufacturing cost of the micro needle can be reduced and the manufacturing process can be simplified.

While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be practical exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments.

Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited by the described embodiments, but should be determined by the scope of the appended claims and equivalents thereof.
