Drug delivery or combination device applications include a variety of therapies that range from long term implantable, short term implantable, inserted or skin contact devices. Common examples include steroid eluting electrodes, hormone replacement or contraceptive implants, ophthalmic implants, implantable sensors, and reservoirs. By combining device design with select raw materials and optimized process parameters, short or long term elution profiles can be achieved to meet the desired performance criteria.
