Description

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an implantable drug-delivery pump incorporating our design;

FIG. 2 is a rear elevation view of the implantable drug-delivery pump;

FIG. 3 is a front elevation view of the implantable drug-delivery pump;

FIG. 4 is a left-side elevation view of the implantable drug-delivery pump;

FIG. 5 is a right-side elevation view of the implantable drug-delivery pump;

FIG. 6 is a top view of the implantable drug-delivery pump; and,

FIG. 7 is a bottom view of the implantable drug-delivery pump.

The dash-dot-dot forming a circular shape in FIGS. 1, 3, 5 and 6, the even dash lines in FIG. 7 adjacent to the shaded areas represent the boundaries of the claimed design.

The dash-dot-dot lines in FIGS. 1 and 3-7 illustrate the portions of the implantable drug-delivery pump that form no part of the claimed. None of the broken lines form any part of the claimed design.

Claims

The ornamental design for an implantable drug-delivery pump, substantially as shown and described.
