Filed:
Apr 7, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/287344
Inventors:
Herbert Silverstein - Sarasota FL
International Classification:
A61M 3100
US Classification:
604264
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an otological implant for delivery of medicament and a method of using the implant. The implant includes a wick inserted through an aperture in a membrane. One end of the wick is in contact with the treatment site and the other end is readily accessible. The wick is made of a material that will convey medication from one end of the wick to the other end of the wick by capillary action so that the medication is delivered to the treatment site. The implant may also include a tube member for supporting the wick. In use, the tube member is inserted in the membrane aperture and the wick is inserted in the lumen of the tube.
