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.
