Title: Introducing SurgRelief: A Novel Wound Dressing Device for Localized Pain Relief and Enhanced Healing

Part 1: Write an introduction for the research paper, including What specific problem this device is trying to solve (introduce the disease/condition and why there is a need for this device specifically).  Using the outline below for writing:
Name of device: SurgRelief
Specific Problem trying to solve: Wound dressing to apply to the skin with these considerations:
Limited adhesive strength and possible biocompatibility issues such as cytotoxicity and microbial contamination. 
Local drug delivery- systemic absorption, drug stability, dose optimization, drug side effects consideration.
Try to reduce the pain without taking drugs orally. (Because when taking drugs, the whole body gets side effects such as sedation or addiction.) Our device affects only the targeted surgical area.
Part 2: Write an explanation of The components of the device, including Identifying and listing all the different biomaterials included in the device or implant. Provide a detailed schematic or figure of the biomedical device illustrating the role and location of the different biomaterials in the device. You can look for the appropriate information within literature and patent literature. With the provided outline below:

DermaCol™


Product: DermaCol is an advanced wound care dressing primarily composed of collagen, sodium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose, and EDTA. To which the microneedles composed of hydrogels containing pain relievers will be added to the component. 
Microneedles’ hydrogels: polymer (PMVE/MA, PMVE/MAH, PMVE/MA + Na2CO3, MeHA, pHEMA, PS-b-PAA, Silk)
Note: concentrate more on part 1, the introduction part.
