Integrated microneedle array and a method for manufacturing thereof
First Claim
1. A method of manufacturing of a microneedle array comprising:
- selecting a soft production mold comprising a set of microscopic incisions defining geometry of the microneedles, said soft production mold being capable of providing the microneedle array integrated into a base plate; and
using a filler material for abundantly filling the microscopic incisions of the soft production mold thereby producing the microneedle array with pre-defined geometry integrated into the base plate;
wherein for the filler material a water or alcohol based ceramic or polymer-ceramic slurry is selected, said slurry comprises alumina in 300-500 nm grain size or zirconia in 50 nm or less grain size.
