System can dispense birth control drugs for 16 years
• Allows women conceive at press of button
A NEW birth control drug delivery system can be remotely
turned on or off - and each implant can last 16 years.
The unnamed device is designed-to-be implanted under
the skin of the buttocks, upper arm, or abdomen. It
dispenses 30 micrograms a day of levonorgestrel, a
hormone already used in several kinds of contraceptives.
How it works
The device measures 20 x 20 x 7 millimeters, and it is
designed to be implanted under the skin of the buttocks,
upper arm, or abdomen. It dispenses 30 micrograms a day
of levonorgestrel, a hormone already used in several kinds
of contraceptives.
To conceive, women turn off the implant with a remote
control. Another click of the remote restarts it.
Passing an electric current through the seal from an
internal battery melts it temporarily, allowing a small dose
of the hormone to diffuse out each day
Sixteen years’ worth of the hormone fits in tiny reservoirs
on a microchip 1.5 centimeters wide inside the device.
According to Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(MIT) Technology Review, the firm behind it, MicroCHIPS of
Lexington, Massachusetts, the device will begin pre-clinical
testing next year in United States. “The goal is to have it on
the market by 2018,” they say.
“Precise, long- term drug delivery can be achieved by
using individual micro-reservoirs to store and hermetically
protect the drug, microchip activation to release the drug,
and telemetry to both control and communicate release,”
the firm says.
‘This creates the opportunity for more accurate dosing,
reduced cost-of-care, improved patient compliance and,
ultimately, improved patient outcomes.”
Sixteen years’ worth of the hormone fits in tiny
reservoirs on a microchip 1.5 centimeters wide inside the
device.
The firm has already tested the radical drug delivery
system on patients with osteoporosis.
It relies on titanium and platinum seal on the reservoirs
containing the drug.
Passing an electric current through the seal from an
internal battery melts it temporarily, allowing a small dose
of the hormone to diffuse out each day.
The implant could mean the end of daily injections or
tablets
‘The idea of using a thin membrane like an electric fuse
was the most challenging and the most creative problem
we had to solve,” MicroCHIPS president Robert Farra told
MIT.
The microchip device is implanted and explanted using
local anesthetic. Patient surveys from the osteoporosis
study found that the microchip device was well-tolerated,
and patients indicated that they would repeat the implant
procedure.
“Each procedure lasted less than 30 minutes,” said treating
surgeon Dr. Pia Georg Jensen. “The patients were able to
walk out of the facility and go home unescorted.”
