Provided herein is an implant for delivering a hydrophobic active agent to a target tissue. The implant may include a scaffold defining a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, wherein the scaffold is substantially impermeable to a hydrophobic active agent, and a silicone tubing having a wall permeable to the active agent, wherein a first length of the silicone tubing is affixed to the first surface of the scaffold, wherein the two ends of the silicone tubing extend from the first surface, and wherein a path outlined by a second length of the tubing within the first length is circuitous. Also provided is a method of using the implant to locally deliver a hydrophobic active agent to a target tissue, and kits that find use in performing the present method.
本文提供了一种向目标组织输送疏
水活性剂的植入物。该植入物可包括界定第一表面和与第一表面相对的第二表面的支架,其中支架基本上不渗透疏
水活性剂,以及具有可渗透
活性剂壁的
硅胶管,其中
硅胶管的第一长度贴在支架的第一表面上,其中
硅胶管的两端从第一表面延伸,并且第一长度内的第二长度的
硅胶管所勾勒的路径是迂回的。此外,还提供了一种使用植入物向目标组织局部递送疏
水活性剂的方法,以及可用于实施本方法的试剂盒。
