ENDOVASKULÄRES IMPLANTAT ZUR INJEKTION EINES WIRKSTOFFS IN DIE MEDIA EINES BLUTGEFÄSSES

摘要

A vascular implant comprises a base body (42) with a surface (40) against the blood vessel wall (12), in sections. The implant surface has a number of micro-injectors (10), each with micro-channel(s) (38) which projects from the implant surface to penetrate the blood vessel wall and inject the agent into the blood flow. A reservoir (36) for the active agent is linked to the micro-channel. A vascular implant to give a controlled release of an active agent into the bloodstream (22) through a blood vessel, comprises a base body (42) with a surface (40) against the blood vessel wall (12), in sections. The implant surface has a number of micro-injectors (10), each with micro-channel(s) (38) which projects from the implant surface to penetrate the blood vessel wall and inject the agent into the blood flow. A reservoir (36) for the active agent is linked to the micro-channel.
