  • Patent number: 7294345
    Abstract: The invention relates to an otorhinological delivery device comprising at least one pharmaceutically active agent. According to the invention the device comprises a core comprising said at least one pharmaceutically active agent wherein said core is made of an elastomer composition selected from the group consisting of poly(dimethylsiloxane), a siloxane-based elastomer comprising 3,3,3-trifluoropropyl groups attached to the Siatoms of the siloxane units, a siloxane-based elastomer comprising poly(alkylene oxide) groups and mixtures thereof, and a membrane encasing said core, said membrane being made of a same or a different elastomer composition than said core, said elastomer composition being selected from the group consisting of poly(dimethylsiloxane), a siloxane-based elastomer comprising 3,3,3-trifluoropropyl groups attached to the Siatoms of the siloxane units, a siloxane-based elastomer comprising poly(alkylene oxide) groups and mixtures thereof.

  • Publication number: 20040247674
    Abstract: A delivery system including at least one core and a membrane. The core and the membrane include an elastomer composition containing, e.g., poly(dimethylsiloxane), a siloxane-based elastomer having 3,3,3-trifluoropropyl groups attached to the Si-atoms of the siloxane units and/or poly(alkylene oxide) groups, present as alkoxy-terminated grafts or blocks linked to the polysiloxane units by silicon-carbon bonds, or as a mixture of these forms. The delivery system is preferably an implant or an interuterine, intracervical or intravaginal system.
