More Information
Summary:Flow regulators for implantable drug delivery devices (100) and drug delivery devices produced therewith. Implantable drug delivery devices (100) employing diffusion, osmosis, electrodiffusion, electroosmosis, or a combination of one or more of these for driving one or more drugs therefrom are provided with cover members (126, 128) for varying at least one of an effective cross-sectional area and transport characteristics through which fluids diffuse or osmose. The cover members may be remotely actuated from a location outside of an implantation site after implantation of a device.
