열 공압을 이용한 능동 미세바늘의 제작
Active microneedle actuated by thermopneumatic force
초록
This paper presents a novel movable microneedle that becomes active when necessary to use. Conventional researches have been focused on the fabrication of microneedles and the interface with fluidic chip [1,2]. Therefore, we proposed an active microneedle to sample body fluids or deliver drugs in a controlled amount by actuating the needles. This allows us to keep the needles in operation only when necessary so that both the body skin and the needles can be protected from undesirable external disturbance while no operation.
