COMBINATORIAL DRUG DELIVERY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240009081 titled 'COMBINATORIAL DRUG DELIVERY DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a combinatorial drug delivery device that is designed to deliver a specific combination of drug components. The device consists of multiple modules, each with a body and a spike plate that has a cannula and two ports. These modules are inserted into a base tray, which has wells to receive the modules. The wells have inlet ports that connect to the ports on the modules, and there are passageways to allow fluid flow between adjacent wells. The spike plate of each module remains stationary when inserted into a well.

  • The device is designed for delivering a predetermined selection of drug components.
  • It consists of multiple modules with spike plates and cannulas.
  • The modules are inserted into a base tray with wells.
  • The wells have inlet ports that connect to the ports on the modules.
  • Passageways allow fluid flow between adjacent wells.
  • The spike plate of each module remains stationary when inserted into a well.

Potential Applications:

  • Combinatorial drug delivery for personalized medicine.
  • Drug delivery for combination therapies.
  • Research and development of new drug combinations.

Problems Solved:

  • Allows for precise delivery of specific combinations of drug components.
  • Enables efficient testing and development of drug combinations.
  • Facilitates personalized medicine by delivering tailored drug combinations.

Benefits:

  • Increased effectiveness of drug delivery by targeting specific combinations.
  • Improved efficiency in testing and development of drug combinations.
  • Enhanced ability to personalize medicine for individual patients.


Original Abstract Submitted

in one aspect, a combinatorial drug delivery device is provided for delivering a predetermined selection of drug components. the device includes a plurality of modules, each including: a body having an interior volume; a spike plate movably disposed in the interior volume, the spike plate having a protruding cannula and first and second ports. the device also includes a base tray which includes: a framework defining a plurality of wells, each of the wells formed to insertingly receive one of the modules; for each of the wells, first and second inlet ports formed to interface with the first and second ports of the module being received in the respective well; passageways to connect certain wells with adjacent wells to permit fluid flow therebetween. for each of the wells, the spike plate of the respective module being maintained in a stationary position with the module being inserted into the well.
