3D Printed Micro-Needle: A Pain Free Injection

If you are afraid of injection, then this new technology is for you. With this new technique, the drug will be diffused within the human body, and at the same time, the micro-needles will degrade in the human body.

American Researchers have created a micro-needle with the help of a 3D printer that is pain-free and could deliver medicine/drugs into your body.

It offers an up-and-coming solution that could eventually eliminate painful, fear-inducing injections. Researchers said, “This bio-material Micro-needle has a specification that it dissolves inside the human body.”

It could be used as a medicine or drug for skin cancer and other serious diseases. JaeWon Choi, a scientist from Akron University, Ohio, said, “It was very difficult to make this technology because it contains some non-printable solvents and drugs.” This researcher produced a loaded array in which each array consisted of 25 poly (propylene fumarate) microneedles.

Each needle has a tip and base diameter of 20 mm and 200 mm. The needles were then tested and showed they would likely be submitted to when into the inserted body.

  • This 3D-printed micro-needle is no more than 1 mm high.
  • This array was fabricated using micro-stereo lithography and adapted to print on a much smaller scale.
  • There is the implication that the process is still being researched, including some areas of improvement.
  • This platform was started by Parveen Kumar Chadha with the vision that nobody should suffer the way he did because of a lack of and improper health care facilities.
  • Researchers hope this technique will be used clinically in the next 5 to 10 years. After that, painful, pointy implements will no longer be needed every time.
