Abstract

See full text

A medical device and method for drug delivery employing a 3-dimensional pattern of a polymer support material (e.g., that is degradable after implant in a body), a drug associated with the polymer support material, and an adhesive that adheres the polymer support material and associated drug to body tissue. The adhesive may persist to maintain the device in a suitable position for a suitable time (e.g., until after the polymer support material begins to degrade to release the drug), and the drug may be arranged in discrete areas of the 3-dimensional pattern that are separated from each other. The pattern may be produced in whole or in part before deployment at a body site, or may be produced in whole or in part directly at a tissue surface.
