LONDON, May 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Implantable infusion pumps are intended to provide long-term continuous or intermittent drug infusion; possible routes of administration include intravenous, intra-arterial, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, intrathecal, and epidural. They are the least utilized and most complex of infusion pumps. These pumps are typically labeled for specific drugs, dosages, and routes of administration and require a high level of sophistication in the technology to run these pumps. For this reason, there are few pumps approved by regulatory agencies around the world and unit costs for these pumps remain high.
Implantable infusion pumps are most commonly used to administer:
Chemotherapy for liver cancer patients
Anti-spasmodic drugs for those with severe spasticity
Opioid drugs for treatment of chronic intractable pain
