Novel microdevices for controlled blood and skin extraction

目前的血液采样设备只能在皮肤上进行穿孔，但没有采集血液的能力，而目前的组织活检不能在没有局部麻醉或缝合的情况下对患者进行重复采样。需要临床上可行的设备，以便通过促进早期发现，特别是在医疗资源有限的农村/边远地区，在皮肤癌和传染病领域制定预防战略。

Current blood sampling devices only create a puncture in the skin but have no capacity to collect blood while current tissue biopsies are not capable of repeated sampling in patients without the need for local anaesthesia or sutures. There is a need for clinically feasible devices to enable preventive strategies in the area of skin cancer and communicable diseases through facilitation of early detection, particularly in rural/remote areas where medical resources are limited.
