Abstract: It is an objective to provide a microneedle and a microneedle array formed from a self-dissolving base which can realize higher absorption efficiency and a higher pharmacological availability. A preparation 1 for body surface application has two sections divided in the insertion direction, namely, an acral portion 5 and a rear end portion 6. The acral portion 5 is a section including a body surface insertion end 2, and holds a target substance soluble in base. The rear end portion 6 is a section including a pressing end 3, and is formed mainly only from the base. The rear end portion 6 does not hold the target substance. When the preparation 1 for body surface application is inserted into a body surface such as the skin, since the target substance is contained in the acral portion 5, even if part of the rear end side thereof is subsequently not fully inserted into the body surface, high absorption efficiency and high pharmacological effect can be realized where the actual dose of the target substance is not below the desired amount of the drug.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pressing tool (2) for the permanent connection of workpieces (14, 16, 18, 30, 34) having two pivot elements (4), each of them having a pressing jaw (10), and having at least one rotational axis (6) on which the pivot elements are hinged, wherein the inner contours of the opposing pressing jaws (10) form a receiving area (12). The present invention is based on the technical problem of providing an alternative pressing tool (2) with which a permanent connection can be produced between workpieces (14, 16, 18, 30, 34) by axial pressing-together. The technical problem is solved in that the inner contours have at least one slide face (2) which is inclined relative to the receiving area axis (20). A pressing tool (2) can thus be provided which, starting from a radially inward movement, performs a pressing-together in the axial direction, nonetheless requires little installation space, and offers weight advantages due to a smaller axial extension, for example. Furthermore, the invention relates to an attachment for a pressing tool (2) and a method for the permanent connection of workpieces using a pressing tool.
