Abstract: A high-density microneedle of the present disclosure includes: a sheet portion attached to skin; a substrate portion arranged on the sheet portion; and a plurality of insertion pieces arranged on the substrate portion, wherein the substrate portion is arranged on the sheet portion while having a plurality of layers formed therein.

Abstract: Proposed is a patch for the alleviation and prevention of acne, in which anti-acne activity of a biodegradable metal represented by MgaZnbXc (in which a, b and c are wt % of individual components, a+b+c=100 wt %, 0?a?100, 0?b?100, and 0?c?10, among which a or b is the greatest, and X is at least one selected from the group consisting of Ca, Fe, Mn, Si, Na, Zr, Ce, and P) is demonstrated, thus exhibiting novel use thereof as a patch for the alleviation and prevention of acne.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a thread embedding therapy rope and a thread embedding therapy needle apparatus comprising same, and disclosed are a thread embedding therapy rope and a needle apparatus comprising same, the rope comprising a linear core, which comprises a biodegradable polymer, and a metal wire, which is arranged to spirally encompass the outer circumferential surface of the linear core, wherein the metal wire comprises a biodegradable metal formed with magnesium or zinc as a main component, so as to have no side effects on biological tissue when applied to the human body by means of thread embedding therapy, pulling force on the tissue can be strengthened, lifespan can be extended over that of a conventional embedded thread of a biodegradable polymer, the drug loading capability of the embedded thread itself can be increased so as to allow for usefulness as a drug carrier, and a drug can be delivered through a simple method.

Abstract: A microneedle using a biodegradable metal is represented by Chemical Formula 1 and is absorbed and degraded after subcutaneous or epithelial insertion to thus release metal ions and degradation products into the body. In Chemical Formula 1, a, b, and c represent wt % of respective ingredients, a+b+c=100 wt %, a or b has the highest value in the range of 0?a?100, 0?b?100, and 0?c?10, and X is one or more selected from the group consisting of Ca, Fe, Mn, Si, Na, Zr, Ce, and P.

Abstract: The present invention includes: a substrate portion; a needle portion provided at the substrate portion and protruding from the substrate portion to be inserted into skin; and a perforated portion provided at a junction between the needle portion and the substrate portion, wherein either of the substrate portion and the needle portion is made of the bioabsorbable metal.
