Abstract
A device for delivering an active agent to a tissue (100), comprising; a housing (10) including a reservoir (20) for containing said active agent; a delivery tip (35) being in fluid communication with said reservoir; and, a delivery mechanism (40) capable of delivering a predetermined amount of said active agent and releasing the same upon contact between said delivery tip and said tissue.
Claims12
A device for delivering an active agent to a tissue, comprising:
- a. a housing with a first end and a second end, including a reservoir comprising a first piston and second piston spaced apart forming a sealed chamber for containing said active agent;
- b. a delivery tip located in said first end of said housing in fluid communication with said reservoir when actuated;
- and,
- c. a delivery mechanism capable of delivering a predetermined amount of said active agent and releasing the same upon contact between said delivery tip and said tissue;
- d. a chip located in said second end of said housing, wherein said chip is adapted for actuating a predetermined pressure on said tissue to force the penetration of said active agent;
- wherein said delivery mechanism comprises a rotational mechanism adapted to control the operation of said delivery mechanism by audible sound or sudden reduction in rotational friction force;
- further wherein said fluid communication between said delivery tip and said reservoir is absent before actuation of said device.
