  • Patent number: 10864360
    Abstract: A microneedle unit includes a liquid holder, a microneedle, and a support member. The liquid holder has an enclosure that holds liquid including a substance to be administered. The microneedle has a base body and protrusions extending from the surface of the base body. The protrusions are of a hardness sufficient to pierce the liquid holder. The support member supports the base body in a state such that the microneedle is arranged at a position in which the tips of the protrusions and the enclosure holding the liquid are opposed to each other with a gap provided therebetween. The tips of the protrusions can be displaced to a position where the tips of the protrusions penetrate through the liquid holder in response to an external force applied to the base body.

  • Publication number: 20200189936
    Abstract: A fluid sterilizing device (1) includes barrel portion (5) having a channel where fluid to be sterilized flows; inlet (6a) formed on one end portion side of the barrel portion (5); outlet (7a) formed on the other end portion side of the barrel portion (5); a light source (3) that emits ultraviolet light toward the fluid; and a rectifier (12) mounted inside the channel and having a cylindrical through hole. The rectifier (12) includes inner circumferential region Rin expanding from its center in the diameter direction of the channel, and outer circumferential region Rout expanding outside the inner circumferential region Rin. The ratio (t/d)out of the panel thickness t relative to the diameter d of each through hole in the outer circumferential region Rout is larger than the ratio (t/d)in of the panel thickness t relative to the diameter d of each through hole in the inner circumferential region Rin.
