Abstract

See full text

Implantable drug-eluting device comprising a microporous structure having regularly arranged pores in at least two different uniform sizes, and manufacturing method. The pores are configured for receiving a drug and are being connected by interconnections. Interconnections originating from pores of a first size have a first elution area and interconnections originating from pores of a second size have a second elution area. The interconnections convey the drug to a surface of the device for elution to surrounding tissue. The ratio between the first and the second elution areas is predefined and selectable. The differently sized elution areas provide for different outflow rates. This allows for simple but reliable dispensing of drugs at positively controlled and well determined rates. Particularly, this enables a single implantable device to dispense drugs over preselectable durations of time, like short-term or long-term.
