Implantable multireservoir device with stimulus-responsive membrane for on-demand and pulsatile delivery of growth hormone [Engineering]

Implantable devices for on-demand and pulsatile drug delivery have attracted considerable attention; however, many devices in clinical use are embedded with the electronic units and battery inside, hence making them large and heavy for implantation. Therefore, we propose an implantable device with multiple drug reservoirs capped with a stimulus-responsive membrane...
