- hyaluronic acid which may be one of the soluble biocompatible materials (21) forming the base layer (12) of the present invention, may be a material that can be used to form all of the needle portion (11), the base layer (12), and the connecting portion (13) of the microneedle patch (10) of the present invention as one of the hydrophilic biocompatible materials.
- This hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide that exists in the human body, and is a biodegradable polymer compound composed of N-acetylglucosamine and glucuronic acid, and has strong water solubility. Therefore, when a small amount of water is sprayed as a solvent after forming the microneedle patch (10) of FIGS. 3 and 4, at least one of the basal layer (12) or the connecting portion (13) is dissolved in a very short time and becomes a liquid. When the liquefied hyaluronic acid is wiped off at this time, only the needle portion (11) of the microneedle patch (10) remains inside the skin, and the basal layer (12) is removed. Even when the basal layer (12) is removed, the active substance (20) can be continuously delivered in the subcutaneous layer before the needle portion (11) is completely dissolved.
- one embodiment of the microneedle patch (10) capable of separating the basal layer (12) of the present invention can remove the basal layer (12) of the microneedle patch (10) within a desired time, unlike the existing polymer basal layer, and even when the basal layer (12) is removed, the needle portion (11) continuously injects the active substance (20) into the subcutaneous layer, so that the basal layer (12) can be removed within a short time after the procedure, thereby enabling daily life, while maintaining the effect of the active substance (20).
- the dissolution time of the separable base layer (12) as described above can be determined by the amount of the solvent (30), for example, water in the case of hyaluronic acid, supplied (for example, sprayed) to at least one of the base layer (12) or the connecting portion (13).
- the solvent (30) for example, water in the case of hyaluronic acid
- This can satisfy the time required for medical and cosmetic aspects in which the base layer (12) must be maintained after the procedure, and can satisfy various removal times required from several tens of seconds to several minutes, and no specific means other than the amount of water supplied may be required as a method for controlling this.
- the contact characteristics according to the curvature of the skin are excellent.
- the skin that requires actual treatment has many curvatures such as wrinkles, and accordingly, the treatment process of the micro needle patch (10) must be carried out carefully.
- the basal layer (12) using hyaluronic acid it has the advantage of being able to be treated along the curvature of the skin because it has very high flexibility.
- the substance dissolved by the predetermined solvent used to form at least one of the above-mentioned base layer (12) or connecting portion (13) may be various soluble substances such as starch, carboxymethyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, etc., which are water-soluble biopolymers, in addition to hyaluronic acid.

It is obvious that the above principle can be applied to various solvents and substances having solubility therein, and it should be understood that there may be various equivalents and modified examples that can replace it at the time of the present application.
- the predetermined solvent (30) may include at least one of a pharmacologically active substance or a cosmetically active substance used to form the needle portion (11), the basal layer (12), or the connecting portion (13).
- the predetermined solvent (30) may include an active substance different from the active substance (20) contained in the needle portion (11).
- an active substance (20) for alleviating skin irritation due to application of the microneedle patch (10) such as a serum
- the serum may have the effect of actively alleviating skin irritation due to attachment of the microneedle patch (10) while simultaneously performing the role of a solvent for separation of the basal layer (12).
- FIG. 5 is a drawing showing the dissolution of a microneedle patch according to one embodiment of the present invention.
- the microneedle patch (10) illustrated in FIG. 5 is partially impregnated in a solvent tray (31) containing a solvent (30), and the microneedle patch (10) of the impregnated portion has at least one of the base layer (12) or the connecting portion (13) dissolved by the solvent (30).
- At least one of the base layer (12) or the connecting portion (13) may be formed of hyaluronic acid, and in this case, the solvent (30) may be water.

- a solvent supply pack (40) containing a predetermined solvent and attached to the skin in addition to the basal layer (12) to deliver the predetermined solvent to at least one of the connection portion (13) or the basal layer (12) is provided on the basal layer (12) (see (d) of FIG. 6).
- dissolution of at least one of the connection portion (13) or the basal layer (12) of the microneedle patch (10) occurs. Referring to (e) of FIG. 6, dissolution of the basal layer (12) is illustrated for clarity of the drawing, but only the connection portion (13) and not the basal layer (12) may be dissolved, or both the basal layer (12) and the connection portion (13) may be dissolved and then separated from the needle portion (11).
- the dissolved base layer (12a) can be separated from the needle portion (11) within a predetermined time. More specifically, the dissolved base layer (12a) can be separated from the needle portion (11) by being dried together with the solvent supply pack (40) that delivers a predetermined solvent over a predetermined time and then removed together with the solvent supply pack (40) (see (f) of FIG. 6). When only the connecting portion (13) is dissolved, the base layer (12) can be separated from the needle portion (11) by removing the base layer (12) together with the solvent supply pack (40) within a predetermined time.
- This solvent supply pack (40) can apply the solvent more evenly than the spraying method. While spraying may damage the needle portion (11) of the microneedle patch (10) and the skin due to the impact caused by the spraying pressure, the solvent supply pack (40) does not cause damage to the microneedle patch (10) and the skin.
- the solvent supply pack (40) can deliver the solvent to the skin and dry quickly, and this drying effect can be greater especially when the solvent supply pack (40) is made of a material that does not retain the solvent, has a large surface area, and when the base layer (12) is dissolved. That is, by utilizing the solvent supply pack (40), the dissolved base layer (12a) can be dried again after the solvent is quickly delivered to at least one of the base layer (12) and the connecting portion (13) of the microneedle patch (10).
- the microneedle patch (10) that has been dried and hardened during manufacture can be quickly hydrated (or softened) by the solvent of the solvent supply pack (40), and at the same time, the dissolved base layer (12a) can be quickly dried again together with the drying of the solvent supply pack (40).
- a bonding force may be generated between the solvent supply pack (40) and the dissolved base layer (12a) of the microneedle patch (10) by such drying, and in this case, the dissolved base layer (12a) of the microneedle patch (10) may be more easily separated from the needle portion (11) together with the solvent supply pack (40).
- the content of a predetermined solvent contained in such a solvent supply pack (40) can be determined according to the length of time required to maintain the base layer (12), and since the length of time required to maintain the base layer (12) can be determined based on at least one of the type or content of the active material (20), the solvent supply pack (40) can be provided in a sealed package so as to contain an appropriate solvent according to the type or content of such active material (20).
- the base layer (12) may be advantageous for the base layer (12) to be maintained for a certain period of time until the active substance (20) is released, and if the active substance (20) is a rapid-release type, the base layer (12) may be separated in a short period of time.
- the amount of the active substance (20) contained in the needle portion (11) is large, the rigidity of the needle portion (11) may be somewhat weak, so it may be desirable for the base layer (12) to be maintained for a certain period of time to support the needle portion (11), and if not, the base layer (12) may be separated in a short period of time.
- the time for which the base layer (12) of the microneedle patch (10) of the present invention is maintained may vary depending on the type and content of the active substance (20).
- the solvent supply pack (40) provided with the microneedle patch (10) of the present invention contains an appropriate solvent depending on the type and content of the active substance (20) contained in the needle portion (11). Therefore, the user can separate the base layer (12) by simply attaching the corresponding solvent supply pack (40) without having to adjust the supply amount and supply time of the solvent in order to separate the needle portion (11) and the base layer (12) of the microneedle patch (10).
- At least a part of the needle portion (11), the base layer (12), and the connecting portion (13) of the microneedle patch (10) of the present invention is made flexible by attachment of the solvent supply pack (40), so that after a predetermined time has elapsed, the base layer (12) can be separated from the needle portion (11) along with removal of the solvent supply pack.
- the needle portion (11), the base layer (12), and the connecting portion (13) can be manufactured from the same active material (20) that is soluble in a predetermined solvent, and when the soluble active material (20) is distributed throughout the microneedle patch (10) including the needle portion (11), the base layer (12), and the connecting portion (13) of the microneedle patch (10), when the solvent supply pack (40) is attached, the solvent can flexibilize not only the base layer (12) or the connecting portion (13), but also the entire microneedle patch (10) manufactured from the same component.
- the base layer (12) of the microneedle patch (10) can be easily separated from the needle portion (11) by removing the solvent supply pack (40) from the microneedle patch (10) that has been made flexible by the solvent supply pack (40) after a predetermined period of time has elapsed.
- the separation of the base layer (12) can be made easier.

- a microneedle patch according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a bubble structure (B) having a cavity in a connecting portion (13) between a needle portion (11) and a basal layer (12), as shown in Fig. 7 (b).
- the cross-sectional area of the cavity at the wall surface position of the bubble structure (B) of the needle portion (11) that has penetrated the skin is wide at the time of insertion as shown in (b) of FIG. 7, but the hardening is weakened due to hydration or softening by a solvent in the state of being inserted into the skin, so that the mechanical strength of the microneedle patch (10) is lowered, and accordingly, the cross-sectional area of the cavity at the wall surface position of the bubble structure (B) can be reduced as shown in part C in (c) of FIG.
- the connection strength between the needle portion (11) and the base layer (12) or the connecting portion (13) also decreases, and accordingly, even if at least one of the base layer (12) or the connecting portion (13) is completely dissolved or not separated from the needle portion (11), the base layer (12) can be easily separated from the needle portion (11) due to the low tension of the cross-sectional area of the cavity at the wall surface location of the bubble structure (B).
- the dissolved base layer (12a) can be separated from the needle portion (11) by drying for a predetermined time, or can be immediately separated from the needle portion (11) by wiping or washing. If only the connecting portion (13) is dissolved, the base layer (12) can be separated from the needle portion (11) by removing the base layer (12) within a predetermined time (see (d) of FIG. 7).
- FIG. 8 shows another embodiment of a microneedle patch capable of basal layer separation of the present invention.
- FIG. 8 (a) is an enlarged view of part A of the microneedle patch (10) of FIG. 4 (d).
- the microneedle patch (10) according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a bubble structure (B) having a cavity in a connecting portion (13) between a needle portion (11) and a basal layer (12), as shown in FIG. 8 (b).
- the description of the bubble structure (B) is the same as that described above with respect to FIG. 7.
- a solvent supply pack (40) containing a predetermined solvent capable of dissolving at least one of the basal layer (12) or the connection portion (13) and attached to the skin in addition to the basal layer (12) and delivering the predetermined solvent to at least one of the basal layer (12) or the connection portion (13) is provided, dissolution of at least one of the basal layer (12) or the connection portion (13) occurs.
- the basal layer (12) is illustrated as being dissolved for clarity of the drawing, but only the connection portion (13) and not the basal layer (12) may be dissolved, or both the basal layer (12) and the connection portion (13) may be dissolved.
- the dissolved base layer (12a) can be separated from the needle portion (11) within a predetermined time period. More specifically, the dissolved base layer (12a) can be separated from the needle portion (11) by being removed together with the solvent supply pack (40) that delivers a predetermined solvent after being dried together with the solvent supply pack (40) over a predetermined time period (see (d) of FIG. 8).
- the base layer (12) can be separated from the needle portion (11) by removing the base layer (12) together with the solvent supply pack (40) within a predetermined time period.
- the description of the solvent supply pack (40) is the same as that described above with respect to FIG. 6.
- the separation of the base layer (12) can be more easily achieved by tearing and pushing sideways as shown in F of FIGS. 6 to 9, rather than by separating the base layer (12) and the needle portion (11) up and down due to the low tension at the wall surface position of the bubble structure (B) where the cross-sectional area of the cavity is reduced.
- the solvent supply pack (40) and the dissolved base layer (12a) are dried together as shown in (c) and (d) of FIG.
- Fig. 9 shows another embodiment of a microneedle patch capable of separating the basal layer of the present invention.
- the microneedle patch (10) capable of separating the basal layer (12) illustrated in Fig. 9 includes a needle portion (11) containing an active substance, a basal layer (12), and a connecting portion (13) through the process of Fig. 3 described above, and at least one of the basal layer (12) or the connecting portion (13) is manufactured from a substance that is dissolved by a predetermined solvent and is attached to the skin (see Fig. 9 (a) to (c)).
- the needle portion (11) of the attached microneedle patch is inserted subcutaneously to inject an active substance (20) into the body, and the basal layer (12) is maintained in a state of being attached on the skin layer. Thereafter, an adhesive patch (50) can be attached on the basal layer (12) (see (d) of FIG. 9).
- Such adhesive patches (50) may have at least partially formed through-holes (51) that allow a predetermined solvent (30) to pass through and reach at least one of the basal layer (12) or the connecting portion (13).
- the through-holes (51) may be distributed in a portion that comes into contact with the basal layer (12) when the adhesive patch (50) is attached, but may not be distributed in the remaining portions. This is to provide a function of treating and protecting wounds, etc. while dissolving at least one of the basal layer (12) or the connecting portion (13) by the predetermined solvent (30) provided later and preventing the adhesive patch (50) from being detached from the skin.
- a solvent (30) capable of dissolving at least one of the base layer (12) or the connecting portion (13) is supplied (e.g., sprayed) onto the base layer (12)
- the solvent (30) flows through the through hole (51) of the adhesive patch (50) to supply the solvent to at least one of the base layer (12) or the connecting portion (13), so that separation of the base layer can occur.
- the dissolution of the basal layer (12) is illustrated for clarity of the drawing, but only the connection portion (13) may be dissolved, and not the basal layer (12), or both the basal layer (12) and the connection portion (13) may be dissolved.
- the adhesive patch (50) may be separated and removed from the needle portion (11) together with the basal layer (12) by being removed from the skin within a predetermined time period in which at least one of the basal layer (12) or the connection portion (13) is dissolved (see (f) of FIG. 9).
- the adhesive patch (50) may be removed from the skin at the predetermined time period, and the dissolved basal layer (12a) may be dried, wiped off, or washed off.
- the adhesive patch (50) may be, for example, an adhesive hydrocolloid patch.
- the technical idea of the present invention is not limited to the material of the adhesive patch (50) being hydrocolloid.
