DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM COMPRISING A NON-STEROIDAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY (NSAID) AND A PROGESTOGENIC COMPOUND AND METHODS FOR MANUFACTURING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240009116 titled 'DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM COMPRISING A NON-STEROIDAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY (NSAID) AND A PROGESTOGENIC COMPOUND AND METHODS FOR MANUFACTURING
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of this patent application describes a method for fabricating drug-containing intrauterine systems using 3D printing technique, specifically fused deposition modelling (FDM™). The drug, indomethacin, is incorporated within the entire backbone of the medical device by preparing drug-loaded poly-caprolactone (PCL) based filaments with different drug contents (5-40 wt %).
- The patent application proposes using 3D printing, specifically FDM™, to fabricate drug-containing intrauterine systems.
- The drug-loaded filaments are made from poly-caprolactone (PCL) and indomethacin.
- Different drug contents (5-40 wt %) are used to prepare the filaments.
- The drug is incorporated within the entire backbone of the medical device.
- The purpose of this innovation is to provide a method for fabricating drug-containing intrauterine systems using 3D printing, which allows for precise drug delivery and customization.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Manufacturing drug-containing intrauterine systems with precise drug delivery capabilities.
- Customizing drug-loaded medical devices for individual patients.
- Improving the effectiveness and convenience of drug delivery in intrauterine systems.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Traditional methods of fabricating drug-containing intrauterine systems may not allow for precise drug delivery or customization.
- This technology solves the problem of limited drug incorporation within the medical device by incorporating the drug within the entire backbone.
- It also solves the problem of limited customization by using 3D printing to fabricate personalized drug-loaded devices.
Benefits of this technology:
- Precise drug delivery: The drug is incorporated within the entire backbone, allowing for controlled and targeted drug release.
- Customization: 3D printing enables the fabrication of personalized drug-loaded devices, tailored to individual patients' needs.
- Improved convenience: Drug-containing intrauterine systems can be manufactured with the desired drug content, eliminating the need for separate drug administration.
Original Abstract Submitted
a further object of the invention is to fabricate drug-containing t-intrauterine systems (ius) with the drug incorporated within the entire backbone of the medical device by using 3d printing technique, based on fused deposition modelling (fdm™). indomethacin was used to prepare drug-loaded poly-caprolactone (pcl)-based filaments with different drug contents 5-40 wt %, namely 5%, 15% and 30% wt %:of indomethacin.
