Abstract
A device for treating orthopaedic trauma includes a device body having an exterior surface and a cannulation formed therein that extends from one longitudinal end of the device body to an opposite longitudinal end of the device body and at least one porous ingrowth material region associated with the exterior surface of the device body and fluidly coupled to the cannulation. The at least one porous ingrowth material region is configured to deliver a therapeutic agent from the cannulation to a region outside the device body.
Claims19
A device for treating orthopaedic trauma, comprising:
- a device body having an exterior surface and a cannulation formed therein that extends from one longitudinal end of the device body to an opposite longitudinal end of the device body;
- at least one porous ingrowth material region associated with the exterior surface of the device body and fluidly coupled to the cannulation, the at least one porous ingrowth material region being configured to deliver a therapeutic agent from the cannulation to a region outside the device body;
- and
- a reservoir configured to be removably inserted in the cannulation and to hold the therapeutic agent therein.
