Recently, Bioneedle Technologies Group from the Netherlands designed a bio-needle that effectively stores and transfers vaccines.
Since the vaccine stored in the bio-needle is stable at different temperatures, the storage of the vaccine is particularly important for people in remote areas.
The bio-needle consists of a biodegradable material that is about 1.5 cm long. The bio-needle is filled with the relevant vaccine and vaccine propeller, and the propeller is powered by air compression. When the biological needle is injected into the human skin, because of the high speed and small needle shape, there is generally no pain. After a few minutes of injection, the outer needle-shaped substance will be degraded, and the vaccine inside the biological needle has already been injected into the blood. in.
Despite the petite size of the bio-needle, it took the company's development time of nearly 10 years. First, the development of biodegradable materials outside the bio-needle took a lot of research and development time. In addition, the vaccine design inside the bio-needle made the company quite Fei Kungfu, for example, injects temperature stabilization technology into the vaccine. Because this ensures that the vaccine is not affected by external temperature changes and remains active.
The company's co-founder and CSO van de Wijdeven said the design of the bio-needle was inspired by "pig sting". In fact, vaccines are considered to be an effective way to treat many diseases, and the demand for vaccines in poor countries is often stronger than in developed countries. This bio-needle vaccine can meet the demand for vaccines in remote areas of these countries.
