Abstract

A production method of a metal micro-needle array female die comprises: producing an anti-bonding layer and a metal seed layer on a micro-needle array male die; covering the metal seed layer with a female die metal layer; applying a reinforcing layer to the surface of the female die metal layer; removing the male die to obtain the metal micro-needle array female die. The production method of the metal micro-needle has the advantages that the metal micro-needle array female die tolerant to high temperature and high pressure can be produced in batch at low cost, the shape and height of micro-needles are controllable, and industrial batch production is benefited.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a workpiece, in particular to a method for preparing a mold, which is used for a metal microneedle array female mold Background technique [0002] Microneedling is a new type of physical penetration enhancement method that has been considered to have great application prospects in recent years. It is a high-tech physical penetration enhancement technology that has been born with the rapid development of microprocessing technology. The size of the microneedles and the distance between the microneedles are in the micron level, which can easily pass through the stratum corneum without touching the subcutaneous nerve, so it will not cause pain. The microneedle is mainly used to cure the drug in the microneedle and then insert it into the skin to achieve administration, or directly dissolve in the skin. Microneedle technology can also be used in conjunction with other penetration enhancement methods such as iontop...
