Abstract: The present invention relates to a microneedle cap system to be mounted to a container containing an active substance. The system comprises a container cap unit and a microneedle unit, which, among others, allows the active substance to be delivered in a desired amount.

Abstract: A microneedle drug delivery system comprises: a housing having an opening formed in the bottom wall thereof; a microneedle device seated in the opening of the housing in such a fashion as to be hermetically sealed with the bottom wall of the housing; a drug-containing capsule mounted in the housing 1 in such a fashion as to be positioned spaced apart from the microneedle device. With this system, an active agent (or drug) can be effectively delivered into a subject in need.

Abstract: A lancet block comprises a lancet comprising a cam projection and a lancet housing receiving the lancet in such a fashion that the lancet can be vertically moved relatively with respect to the lancet housing. A top wall of the lancet housing and a side wall of the lancet housing corresponding to the cam projection of the lancet are formed of a thin membrane made of a material capable of being easily disrupted and a bottom wall of the lancet housing is formed of a thin membrane made of a material capable of being easily disrupted by a tip of the needle of the lancet. With this lancet block, it is possible to, e.g., provide convenient and sanitary use of a lancet, avoid a risk of any injury by a needle tip, prevent bacterial infection due to such injury, and reduce manufacturing costs.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a microneedle for delivering active agent or agents. The microneedle comprises a body a body having a base at one end thereof and a tip portion at the other end thereof; a pair of projections connected to a side of the body and having a base at one end thereof and a tip portion at the other end thereof; and a vertical groove defined by the body and the pair of projections. The distance between outer edges of the pair of projections is formed to become smaller towards the tip portion than the distance between outer edges of the body, and the upper end of each of the pair of projections is shorter than that of the body such that a free space is formed between the outer edges of the body and the pair of projections.

Abstract: A container for transdermal delivery of an active agent or agents using microneedles includes a reservoir adapted to receive a substance containing an active agent or agents; and a cover member adapted to cover an entrance of the reservoir, the cover member comprising one or more through-holes formed therein and one or more microneedles formed thereon. With the container, transdermal delivery can be made conveniently, easily, and effectively.

Abstract: A microneedle-replaceable roller and stamp comprises a main body having a handle portion and a microneedle plate or sheet that is detachably mounted to the main body. According to the roller and stamp, inexpensive and sanitary application can be ensured.
