    摘要: A delivery device having a first chamber containing an osmotic agent, a membrane forming a wall of the first chamber through which fluid is imbibed by osmosis, a second chamber containing a beneficial agent to be delivered, and a moveable piston separating the two chambers. In fluid communication with the second chamber is an orifice which comprises a slit valve. In the presence of pressure, the beneficial agent pushes through the slit, opening up a channel for delivery of the beneficial agent and creating flow. Because the slit remains closed in the absence of flow (or when the pressure is below the pressure required to open the slit), back diffusion of external fluids is eliminated when the slit is closed, which prevents contamination of the beneficial agent in the second chamber by external fluids. In addition, forward diffusion of the beneficial agent out of the capsule is prevented when the slit is closed. The slit valve opens only to the minimum dimension required to allow the flow generated by the osmotic pumping rate. The slit valve also allows a flow path to open around any obstruction in the slit valve to prevent clogging.

    摘要: The invention relates to a directional drug delivery stent which includes an elongated or tubular member having a cavity containing a biologically active agent. In one embodiment, the active agent is diffused from the reservoir directly to the walls of a body lumen, such as a blood vessel, through directional delivery openings arranged on an outer surface of the elongated member. Another variation of the stent includes an osmotic engine assembly for controlling the delivery of the active agent from the reservoir. The drugs which may be applied by the directional delivery stent include, but are not limited to, steroids, anti-inflammatory agents, restenosis preventing drugs, anti-thrombotic drugs, and tissue growth regulating drugs. The invention also relates to a method of using the directional drug delivery stent.

    摘要: A positive action gate clip comprising a frame having at least two parallel opposing sections, at least one section being discontinuous so as to provide a lower section and an upper section with a gap thereinbetween, a rod-like gate element, and means for retracting the gate element into the frame, the frame upper and lower sections having openings therein so as to permit the coaxial insertion of the gate element into and through the upper section and into the lower section so as to form a gate across the gap thereinbetween, the retracting means permitting the partial withdrawal of the gate element from the frame so as to withdraw the corresponding portion of the gate element from the lower section and from across the gap between the upper and lower sections by the application of force parallel to the motion of the gate element and away from the frame.
