Applications: Drug delivery, Implantable, Neurological
Features
Benefits
A circulation-type arrangement – device inlet and outlet are both located external to the body, with a delivery hole in the implantation area.
Results in delivery of the medication via diffusion, rather than convection – hence is more efficient. Only a fraction of the carrier fluid exits the device.
Cellular scale size.
Mitigates potential for an immune response and allows for long term implantation.
Entire device is flexible.
For ease of implantation and further reduction in foreign body response.
Delivery hole sized and configured for desired molecule.
So can be tailored for each specific use.
Inbuilt sensors.
Can detect the delivery of medication and the condition of a patient.
