Alexander Wood invented the hypodermic needle in order to provide a more efficient and effective method for delivering medication subcutaneously, directly into the body's tissues. This invention revolutionized medical treatment by allowing for precise dosages to be administered in a less painful and more accurate manner.

No, a wood tick does not have teeth... it has a hypodermic needle-like appendage that is barbed and used to suck blood.
Forms of intravenous injection and infusion began as early as 1670. However, Charles Gabriel Pravaz and Alexander Wood were the first to develop a syringe with a needle fine enough to pierce the skin in 1853.Benjamin A. Rubin invented the "Pronged Vaccinating and Testing Needle" or vaccination needle. This was a refinement to the conventional syringe needle.In 1955, Roehr Products introduced a plastic disposable hypodermic syringe called the Monoject.The microneedle device is a painless alternative to the needle and syringe. Mark Prausnitz, a chemical engineering professor from the Georgia Institute of Technology teamed together with electrical engineer Mark Allen to develop the prototype microneedle device, which looks like the nicotine quit smoking patch. The microneedle is made up of 400 silicon-based microscopic needles, each the width of a human hair. The tiny, hollow needles are so small, that any medication can be delivered through the skin without reaching the nerve cells that create pain. Microelectronics within the device would control the time and dosage of the medicine delivered.
The syringe needle was invented in the United States by Charles Pravaz and Alexander Wood in the mid-19th century. They developed the concept of a hollow needle attached to a syringe for medical injections.
Levi Strauss invented blue jeans and Alexander Wood invented the hypodermic syringe in 1853. Henry Bessemer patented his steel making process in 1855
