DELIVERY DEVICE, PARTICULARLY FOR WOUND DRESSING

摘要

The invention relates to the delivery device for the controlled delivery of a substance, particularly a device in the form of a wound dressing (100) by which a medicine can be applied to a wound. The delivery device (100) comprises a reservoir element (120) with voids that can be filled with the substance to be delivered, and a squeezing system (110) that can controlledly deform the reservoir system such that the volume of the voids decreases. In a particular embodiment, the reservoir element may be realized by a hollow tube (120) attached along a non-straight course to an elastic carrier (110) such that the substance within the tube is squeezed out when the elastic carrier is stretched.
