CA 2657380

Devices, systems and techniques for delivering drugs to an ocular tissue are described. In at least some embodiments, a terminal component (e.g., a needle or open end of a catheter) is implanted in an ocular tissue and used to deliver one or more drugs. The delivered drugs may come from a source which is also implanted, or may be introduced from an external source (e.g., via a port). Both solid and liquid drug formulations can be used. Ocular implants can alternatively include a thin film coating that releases a drug into an ocular tissue.

La présente invention concerne des dispositifs, des systèmes et des techniques d'administration de médicaments à un tissu oculaire. Dans au moins quelques modes de réalisation, un composant terminal (par exemple une aiguille ou l'extrémité ouverte d'un cathéter) est implanté dans un tissu oculaire et utilisé afin d'administrer un ou plusieurs médicaments. Les médicaments administrés peuvent provenir d'une source qui est également implantée, ou ils peuvent être introduits à partir d'une source externe (par exemple au travers d'un orifice). Des formulations de médicaments tant solides que liquides peuvent être utilisées. Dans une variante, les implants oculaires peuvent inclure un revêtement en film mince qui libère un médicament dans un tissu oculaire.
