E-esmotrode – a concentric electrode electroosmotic pump
Applications: Localised drug delivery, neurostimulation and neuromodulation, targeted cancer therapy, implantable pumps, chronic disease management
Features
Benefits
Femtosecond laser micromachining enables the precise engraving of embedded microfluidic channels directly into the device
This advanced fabrication process allows for compact integration and highly controlled fluid transport, ensuring efficient and scalable drug delivery and sampling
Concentric electrode pairs with alternating polarity
Serves as a spherical reservoir for localised drug delivery, enhancing therapeutic precision – unlike conventional pumps where the infusion site is positioned remotely from the driving electrodes
Flexible, ultra-thin, soft material construction
Enhances comfort and safety for long-term implantation and eases installation process
Low flow rate operation
Allows precise dosing and sampling for sensitive medical needs
