Drug Delivery

Drug Delivery Devices are surgically implanted pumps that deliver medication directly to a desired target, most often the spinal cord or brain. This method of medication delivery directly into the central nervous system, enables a ,much lower dosage to be administered and decreases, if not eliminates many side effects seen with oral or other systemic administration. Implanted pumps are used in the treatment of pain syndromes such as chronic low back pain following surgery (failed back syndrome) or cancer pain, as well as for the treatment of spasticity seen with multiple sclerosis, stroke and spinal cord injury.
