PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing a needle-like body which is applicable to a biocompatible material and can manufacture a needle-like body at a low cost without using processes such as original plate making using an etching method and transfer plate making using an electroforming method.SOLUTION: A method for manufacturing a needle-like body in which a plurality of needle-like parts 8 are provided on a medicine layer 3 provided on a base plate 1 includes: a printing process of forming a needle-like body forming liquid 5 obtained by dissolving or dispersing a needle-like body forming material in a solvent in the form of a pattern a contact process of bringing a jig 6 into contact with a surface of the needle-like body forming liquid 5 in the form of the pattern a drawing process in which the base plate and the jig are separated from each other for drawing the needle-like body forming liquid 5 made in the form of the pattern and a drying process of drying the drawn needle-like body forming liquid.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】、エッチング法を用いる原版作製や、電鋳法を用いる転写版作製といった、工程を経ず、生体適合材料に適用可能で、安価に、針状体を作製することが可能な針状体の製造方法を提供する。【解決手段】基板1上に設けられた薬剤層3上に、複数の針状部8を設ける針状体の製造方法であって、針状体形成材料を、溶媒に溶解または分散させた針状体形成液5をパターン状に形成する印刷工程と、前記パターン状に形成された針状体形成液5の表面に治具6を接触させる接触工程と、前記基板と前記治具を離間させ、前記パターン状に形成された針状体形成液5を延伸させる延伸工程と、前記延伸させ針状体形成液を乾燥させる乾燥工程とを備えた。【選択図】図1
