Cellular scale implantable drug delivery device
Implantable drug delivery device to overcome blood brain barrier.
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 |
