Microneedle has a long history dated back in 1890, however all conventional microneedle have the form of large array of micro needles for example microneedle patch, microneedle roller, microneedle stamp, microneedle device, etc. These conventional microneedles could not be mixed with any formulation and the needles are quite visible to the naked eyes which make them scary for those who have needle phobia.


For the first time, by utilizing biomimicking and precision fabrication principle, we have invented the next generation microneedle technology: mixable invisible needle technology (MINT) which allow combination of microneedle with micro particle to form tiny microneedle particle, i.e. microbee, featuring mixable capability and high efficacy. These new microneedle particles give rise to new features of microneedle: mixable and invisible capability, thus open up a whole new dimension of application for microneedle.

Microneedle

Nusmetics has over 10 years research in microneedle technology focusing on various microneedle platforms including microneedle patch, dissolving and non-dissolving microneedles, hollow microneedles, polymeric microneedles, microneedle particles, microneedle devices, and many others.


We offer microneedle customization, testing and microneedle device prototyping for various applications including skin care, drug delivery, micro-injection, biosensing, biosampling, etc.
