MICROJECT DEVICES AND METHODS FOR DRUG DELIVERY

摘要

A fluid delivery system includes a reservoir, a delivery actuator, and at least one delivery nozzle of a microjet having an exit orifice with a diameter between about lμm and about 500 μm. The delivery actuator may be configured to deliver a quantity of fluid contained in the reservoir into tissue of an individual through the nozzle or nozzles at a pre-determined velocity, and to desired depths. The quantity of fluid may contain one or more therapeutic agents, such as medications, drugs, bio-reactive agents, etc. The delivery actuator may also be configured to repeatedly deliver a quantity of the fluid contained in the reservoir through the at least one delivery nozzle at pre-determined intervals.
