Abstract

Embodiments of an implantable device for delivering a therapeutic agent to a patient include a reservoir configured to contain a liquid comprising the therapeutic agent and a cannula in fluid communication with the reservoir. The device and related methods may provide such features as constant-flow operation, an electrolytic mode of pumping, and/or wireless communication.

Claims (10)

WHAT IS CLAIMED IS:
1. An implantable device for delivering a therapeutic agent to a patient, the device comprising:
a reservoir configured to contain a liquid comprising the therapeutic agent;
a cannula in fluid communication with the reservoir, the cannula having an outlet configured to be in a fluid communication with the patient; and a valve comprising a movable element movable between a first position and a second position, the movable element comprising an orifice therethrough, wherein the liquid flows through the orifice to the outlet when the movable element is in the first position and wherein the liquid does not flow through the orifice to the outlet when the moveable element is in the second position, wherein the movable element comprises a flexible portion of a wall of the cannula.
2. The device of claim 1, wherein the reservoir comprises a first wall which is generally puncturable by a needle, thereby allowing refilling of the reservoir through the needle.
3. The device of claim 2, wherein the first wall reseals itself upon removal of the needle.
4. The device of claim 2, wherein the reservoir further comprises a second wall which is generally unpuncturable by the needle.
5. The device of claim 1, wherein the cannula comprises an end insertable into the patient and comprising the outlet.
6. The device of claim 5, wherein the end of the cannula is tapered.
7. The device of claim 5, wherein the valve is at the end of the cannula.
8. The device of claim 7, wherein the valve comprises a valve seat, the portion of the wall is not in contact with the valve seat when the movable element is in the first position, and the portion of the wall is in contact with the valve seat when the movable element is in the second position.
9. The device of claim 1, wherein the valve comprises a valve seat within the cannula, the valve seat comprising a protrusion extending from an inner surface of the cannula towards the movable element.
10. The device of claim 1, wherein the movable elements moves from the second position to the first position in response to pressure applied to the movable element by fluid within the cannula.
