Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2006014793A1] An implantable device (10) includes a body (12) defining a reservoir (14), and a head (24) provided at an end of the body (12) and closing the reservoir. The body (12) is made from a material impermeable to the medication while the head (24) is made from a permeable material adapted to release the medication from the reservoir to an implant site at a determinable rate. In one manufacture, the body (12) of the device is molded and includes a hole at a tip end; the head (24) is molded onto the body (12); the medication is injected into the device through the tip end hole; and the tip end is sealed. The portion of the device at which the medication is released is precisely fabricated in order to control release of the medication, and the reservoir is filled and then closed away from the area of medication permeability.
