The microneedle unit includes a liquid holder (30), a microneedle (10), and a support member (20). The liquid holder (30) has a portion (32) for holding a liquid containing the administration substance. The microneedle (10) has a base (11) and a protrusion (12) extending from the surface of the base (11), and the protrusion (12) has a hardness that can penetrate the liquid holding body (30). . The support member (20) has the microneedle (10) disposed at a position where the tip of the protrusion (12) and the portion (32) holding the liquid are opposed to each other with a gap, and the base (11) is The base (11) is supported in a state where the tip of the protrusion (12) can be displaced to a position penetrating the liquid holding body (30) by the external force received.マイクロニードルユニットは、液体保持体(30)とマイクロニードル(10)と支持部材(20)とを備える。液体保持体(30)は、投与物質を含む液体を保持する部分(32)を有する。マイクロニードル(10)は、基体(11)と、基体(11)の表面から延びる突起部(12)とを有し、突起部(12)が液体保持体(30)を貫通できる硬さを有する。支持部材(20)は、突起部(12)の先端と上記液体を保持する部分(32)とが隙間を隔てて互いに対向する位置にマイクロニードル(10)を配置するとともに、基体(11)が受ける外力によって、突起部(12)の先端が液体保持体(30)を貫通する位置へ変位できる状態で、基体(11)を支持する。
