摘要:
A sleeve shaped structure covers a portion of the transport area of a diffusional or osmotic delivery device. The structure is durable and inert to the use environment. Markings on the structure indicate where breaking or cutting will produce a predictable alteration in delivery rate. Among other attachment means, a water soluble adhesive maintains the structure on the delivery device.

摘要:
A dispenser is disclosed for delivering a beneficial agent. The dispenser comprises (1) a housing defining an internal space, (2) a heat-responsive composition containing a beneficial agent in the space, (3) an osmotically effective solute in the space, and (4) at least one passageway in the housing for delivering the beneficial agent from the dispenser.
摘要:
A dispensing system is disclosed for delivering a beneficial agent formulation instantly and continuously over time to an environment of use. The dispensing system comprises an outer housing surrounding at least a part of a dispensing device. The dispensing device comprises a wall surrounding a compartment with a passageway in the wall connecting the compartment with the interior of the dispensing device. A beneficial agent formulation is present in the housing for instant delivery and a beneficial agent formulation is present in the compartment for continuous delivery.

摘要:
A dispensing device is disclosed for delivering a beneficial agent. The device comprises (1) a semipermeable housing defining an internal space, (2) a dense member in the space, (3) a heat responsive composition containing a beneficial agent in the space, (4) an expandable member in the space, and (5) a passageway in the semipermeable housing for delivering the beneficial agent from the dispensing device.
摘要:
A pump assembly particularly useful as an infusor for parenteral administration of a small amount of a therapeutically active substance for a prolonged period of time at a substantially constant rate comprising a fluid imbibing pump mounted within a receptacle into which actuating fluid may be charged. The active agent is dispensed from the pump after the pump is exposed to the fluid. Means to vary or stop the pump by obdurating all or a portion of the exterior surface of the pump can also be provided. Variation in flow rates can also be obtained by changing the composition of the actuating fluid.
摘要:
An improvement in self-driven miniature fluid dispensers is disclosed. The basic components of the dispensers are: an outer rigid semipermeable cellulose membrane that acts as a housing, an inner collapsible bag housed within the membrane that is adapted to contain the fluid, a water-imbibing composition interposed between the outer membrane and the inner bag, and a port that extends from the interior of the bag to the exterior of the dispenser through which the fluid may be charged to and discharged from the dispenser. The improvement lies in using a blend of cellulose acetate butyrate and polymethylmethacrylate to make the outer membrane, thereby forming a membrane of reduced water permeability.
摘要:
The invention is directed to a device for delivering an active agent formulation for a predetermined administration period. An impermeable reservoir is divided into a water-swellable agent chamber and an active agent formulation chamber. Fluid from the environment is imbibed through a semipermeable plug into the water-swellable agent chamber and the active agent formulation is released through a back-diffusion regulating outlet. Delivery periods of up to 2 years are achieved.
