AI Technical Summary
Existing drug delivery systems for treating bone fractures are limited by the inability to replace active ingredients, require complex removal, and have inefficient drug release profiles, leading to high financial and treatment costs for periprosthetic infections.
A device comprising capillaries with removable cores, an intermediate piece, and a guide system that allows for the localized and adjustable application of pharmaceutical fluids, enabling easy insertion and removal without damaging bone tissue, and allowing for repeated drug delivery over several hours to days.
Enables localized and adjustable drug delivery directly to bone fractures, preventing microbial colonization, reducing treatment complexity, and minimizing surgical intervention, while allowing for easy removal and adaptation of treatment protocols.
