    摘要: Devices and methods are provided for controlled release of chemical molecules, such as drugs. One device comprises a plurality of reservoirs; a rupturable covering, such as a thin metal film, enclosing a first end of each reservoir; a release formulation in each reservoir comprising chemical molecules for release; an expanding material layer in each reservoir; and a semi-permeable membrane enclosing a second end of each reservoir distal the release formulation, the semi-permeable membrane being operable to permit selected molecules (e.g., water) from outside the reservoir to diffuse to the expanding material layer to expand the expanding material layer and displace the release formulation in an amount effective rupture the rupturable membrane and discharge the release formulation. The device may further comprises a reservoir cap covering semi-permeable membrane and means for selectively disintegrating the reservoir cap to initiate diffusion of fluid molecules from outside the reservoir and through the semi-permeable membrane.

    摘要: Method and devices are provided for extended and controlled delivery of parathyroid hormone to a patient. The method includes implanting a medical device into the patient, the medical device comprising a substrate, a plurality of reservoirs in the substrate, a release system contained in each of the reservoirs, wherein the release system comprises parathyroid hormone; and controllably releasing a pharmaceutically effective amount of the parathyroid hormone from the reservoirs. The parathyroid hormone can be released intermittently, such as once daily over an extended period (e.g., two months, ten months, or more.). The device can further include reservoirs containing a bone resorption inhibitor or other drug for release. The devices are useful in delivering PTH for the treatment and prevention of bone loss, such as associated with osteoporosis.

    摘要: Methods and devices are provided for mechanically sealing the reservoirs of microchip devices to prevent leakage from or between any of the reservoirs. In one embodiment, the method includes sandwiching a microchip device and a gasket material covering the reservoir openings between a front sealing frame and a backplate, such that the gasket material is compressed against the back side of the microchip device by the back plate. The front sealing frame is secured to the back sealing plate using fasteners or welding. The gasket material is preferably a flexible polymeric sheet, which is biocompatible and compatible with the reservoir contents. In another embodiment, a composite backplate is used in place of the back sealing plate and separate gasket material. The composite backplate can include a substrate having sealing plugs defined thereon. The composite backplate also can be designed to hold the drug, thereby combining the assembly steps of reservoir filling and sealing.
