Abstract:
A therapeutic delivery device that provides a controlled release of high doses of a therapeutic agent in a local area, sustains the high dose controlled release with a percutaneous port for refilling the device, and is versatile for use with multiple types of therapeutic agents and/or implant systems. A rate determining/controlled release membrane is used to decrease the molecular mobility of the therapeutic compounds thereby controlling the therapeutic release profile. The therapeutic delivery device includes a body defining an internal reservoir for receiving a therapeutic agent and including a first membrane for providing a controlled release of the therapeutic agent to the surgical site, a port in fluid communication with the reservoir, a sleeve configured to encapsulate the body, and a rigid housing configured to support the body and a portion of the sleeve, the rigid housing configured to release the body and the sleeve after the body and the sleeve are anchored position relative to the surgical site.

Claim (Index 15):
A method for deploying a therapeutic delivery device within a patient, the therapeutic delivery device including a body, a port, and a sleeve, the method comprising:\n applying a rigid housing over the therapeutic delivery device;\n inserting the rigid housing into the patient through an incision and positioning the body adjacent to a treatment site; \n anchoring the therapeutic delivery device; \n releasing the rigid housing from the therapeutic delivery device; \n removing the rigid housing through the incision; \n positioning the port for external access; \n filling the therapeutic delivery device with a therapeutic agent via the port; \n delivering the therapeutic agent in a controlled manner to the treatment site; and removing the therapeutic delivery device from the patient.
