An Implantable Microfabricated Drug Delivery System
نویسنده
چکیده
We report on the development of a fully implantable drug delivery system capable of delivering hundreds of individual doses. This product is intended for the controlled release of potent therapeutic compounds that might otherwise require frequent injections. Our system has the following capabilities:

متن کاملControlled delivery for neuro-bionic devices.
Implantable electrodes interface with the human body for a range of therapeutic as well as diagnostic applications. Here we provide an overview of controlled delivery strategies used in neuro-bionics. Controlled delivery of bioactive molecules has been used to minimise reactive cellular and tissue responses and/or promote nerve preservation and neurite outgrowth toward the implanted electrode. ...

Implantable contraceptive is likely to be a promising new option for fertility control, as we have entered the twenty-first century and the world’s population grows by one billion people in a single decade. The main objective of this study was to develop a subdermal implant for levonorgestrol (a synthetic progestin from 19-norandrostanes) using a high molecular weight biodegradable polymer , i....
