  • Publication number: 20230094779
    Abstract: Drug delivery devices comprising a non-bioabsorbable polymer structure configured to support a composition comprising an active agent. The devices include a plurality of portions fused together and a recess configured to support the composition. At least one of the portions includes an impermeable polymer and at least one other portion includes a rate-limiting water-permeable polymer. The rate-limiting water-permeable polymer allows for transportation of the active agent to an exterior of a the device.

  • Publication number: 20100158980
    Abstract: Drug delivery devices comprising a non-bioabsorbable polymer structure and a composition comprising an active agent have been discovered. The drug delivery devices may be used to treat ocular conditions, among other diseases and conditions. In addition, a method of treating an ocular condition has been discovered comprising implanting a drug delivery device which releases the active agent at a rate of Q=0.001×N×C wherein C is the topical effective concentration (in milligram/mL) of the active agent and N=0.01 to 0.5 for prostaglandins in their ester, amide, free acid or salt form, and N=0.5 to 5 for any active agent other than prostaglandins in their ester, amide, free acid or salt form.
