Abstract
The invention provides a system for the in vivo treatment of diseased tissue, the system comprising a first longitudinally extending surface and a second longitudinally extending surface coaxial to the first longitudinally extending surface to form a medicament carrying vehicle, wherein the vehicle defines a tunnel adapted to allow physiological fluid to pass through the vehicle. Also provided is method for treating, in vivo, diseased tissue, the method comprising inserting a housing into a tumor excision site and removably sliding a medicament vehicle within the vehicle so as to be encapsulated by the housing.
Claims12
A system for the in vivo treatment of diseased tissue, the system comprising a housing having a first longitudinally extending surface and a medicament support vehicle slidably received by the housing and defining a second longitudinally extending surface coaxial to the first longitudinally extending surface, wherein the vehicle defines a tunnel adapted to allow physiological fluid to pass through the vehicle and wherein the first longitudinally extending surface is-non-rigid and supports radially directed structures integrally molded thereto-wherein the radially directed structures have regions forming apertures to direct physiological fluids, which are initially contacting the radially directed structures, to the inside of the housing.
A device for the in situ treatment of cancerous tissue, the device comprising a sleeve and a medicament supporting vehicle adapted to be removably received by the sleeve while also allowing physiologic fluid to flow through it, wherein the sleeve supports high z material on an exterior surface wherein the exterior surface is defined by integrally molded and radially directed structures having apertures adapted to remove physiologic fluids emanating from the cancerous tissue.
