I believe that in daily life, it is very common for everyone to occasionally get sick and hospitalized and need intravenous injection. But when it comes to injections, people will naturally associate the pain of the needle on the body, as well as the situation that the blood vessels cannot be found and the puncture is wrong. As a result, intravenous injections have left a "shadow" on many children and the elderly, thus avoiding injections, but this situation will become a thing of the past with the advancement of science and technology.
Recently, according to the British "Daily Mail", researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States recently announced that they have successfully developed a vaccine similar to tattoo stickers, which embeds a multi-layer polymer membrane into the ** epidermal layer through microneedles and slowly releases the vaccine. This injection device, called a "microneedle", avoids the pain of injecting drugs.
The vaccine looks like a tattoo sticker, with multiple rows of microneedles spread across the surface. Microneedles are 250 microns in diameter, which is almost 2.5 times the thickness of a human hair. Researchers say that the use of microneedles for injections not only reduces pain but is also safer, so it is expected to become a new generation of injections in the future. In addition, the device can also be used for DNA vaccinations against some of the more dangerous diseases, such as AIDS.
Currently, researchers are looking for ways to improve the efficiency of microneedle injection through animal trials. This method is still being studied and has not yet been officially put into use.
With the continuous improvement of the level of science and technology, the medical industry can also take the high-speed train of scientific and technological development, bringing us more surprises. In the future, Lanming Medical Technology will be committed to providing more high-quality products for patients and the medical field to improve medical services and alleviate patient suffering.
