Abstract
An implantable drug-delivery sleeve for an elongate component of an implantable medical device. The sleeve includes a tubular substrate having a lumen configured to receive the elongate component so as to allow relative displacement of the substrate and the elongate component, wherein the substrate is shaped so as to be retained stationary at a desired position along the elongate component, and a drug releasably carried by the substrate.
Claims28
An implantable medical device comprising:
- an elongate component that is implantable in a recipient;
- and
- a drug-delivery sleeve releasably carrying at least one drug and having a lumen configured to receive the elongate component so as to allow relative displacement of the sleeve and the elongate component, wherein the sleeve is manually compressible to the elongate component such that the sleeve is retained stationary relative to the elongate component.
An implantable medical device comprising:
- an elongate electrode carrier member that is implantable in a recipient;
- a tubular substrate having a lumen configured to receive the electrode carrier member so as to allow relative displacement of the substrate and the electrode carrier member, wherein the substrate is shaped so as to be retained stationary at a desired position along the electrode carrier member;
- and
- a drug releasably carried by the substrate.
