An implantable MEMS micropump system for drug delivery in small animals.
We present the first implantable drug delivery system for controlled timing and location of dosing in small animals. Current implantable drug delivery devices do not provide control over these factors nor are they feasible for implantation in research animals as small as mice. Our system utilizes an integrated electrolysis micropump, is refillable, has an inert drug reservoir for broad drug com...
متن کاملMems Based Drug Delivery System Using Micropump
MEMS based Drug Delivery System (DDS) using an in-plane micropump enables us to make a compact, inexpensive system. This paper presents the new design of transdermal drug delivery system. A conceptual DDS design is proposed. This design consists of a unit which houses the micropump, electronic and power circuitry. This implantable unit is connected to a subcutaneous port via a silicone catheter...

Figure 1: Photographs showing (A) top and bottom of the silicon microchip, and (B) a packaged device with wire-bonded connector We have developed an implantable silicon microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device for biomedical applications [1]. This device contains an array of wells that hermetically store its contents. Activation of the device electrochemically dissolves gold membranes coveri...
متن کاملMEMS-based Implantable Drug Delivery System
Implantable devices are currently used regularly for chronic pain relief, cardiac pacemakers, arterial infusion for cancer and insulin delivery. A MEMS based implantable drug delivery system (IDDS) integrating a subcutaneous reservoir, an in plane silicon pump and associated circuitry for local or centralized delivery of therapeutic agents for chemotherapy is proposed. System configurations, fl...
متن کاملA Mems Micropump System with One-way Valve for Chronic Drug Delivery
Implantable micropump systems capable of user-controlled and site-specific chronic drug delivery in small animals are a critical unmet need in drug discovery and development. Our electrochemical bellows actuator provides current-controlled flow rate and is integrated to form a fully implantable system with a refillable reservoir and one-way valve that prevents mixing of biological fluids with t...
