| 20090317445 | DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM WITH THERMOSWITCHABLE MEMBRANES - The present invention provides a device for controlled release of molecules. The device is particularly suitable for controlled release of therapeutic drugs to a patient. The device includes a housing with an opening for release of the molecules from the housing. The housing also comprises a reservoir for containing the molecules, in particular therapeutic drugs. The reservoir is arranged in the housing to allow release of the molecules through the opening. The device also comprises at least one thermoswitchable membrane and at least one heating element for at least partially heating the membrane. The device is configured for modulating the release of the molecules at the opening by heating the membrane, using the heating element. Optionally, the device further comprises a pressure element for providing pressurized release of the molecules from the device. In this way, the drug can be delivered to a patient in a pulsatile fashion. The present invention also provides a method for modulating the release of molecules, using such a device. | 12-24-2009 |
