Title:
対流増加式薬物配給装置および使用方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4574120
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
An implantable drug delivery system includes an infusion pump assembly (20) with a fluid outlet, a fluid delivery pathway (40) extending from the pump outlet to a target tissue site; and a controlled release material unit (30) positioned in the fluid delivery pathway to release a drug or bioactive material into the delivery pathway. The pump assembly delivers fluid as a high flow infusion flow in said pathway, entraining drug material released by the release unit and establishing a pressure gradient at the distal end of the pathway that results in convection-enhanced transport such that the released drug(s) or treatment material enter the target tissue site with enhanced penetration depth and/or concentration. The pump delivers a carrier fluid that may reside in an external or in an implanted reservoir (24), or that may be an endogenous fluid, such as plasma or CSF.
