Ceramic Medical Needles Could Make Injections Painless: What do you think?

In truth nobody likes having injections in any form, I however, don’t mind them too much if the needle is small enough! A team of researchers who have been led by Dr Roger Narayan have reportedly been able to find a way that it should be pain free when it comes to needles.

They have been able to use, (are you ready for it) “two-photon polymerization of organically modified ceramic (Ormocer) hybrid materials to create microneedles resistant to breakage,”. This means that they would be able to make the needles finer so that patients would not be able to feel them going into their skin, and they could be made in a broader range of sizes than their metal friends. it does seem like a geat idea, but will it work?

Hopefully we will see them sooner rather than later in use, but as to when no one is sure.
