Zusammenfassung: | An improved wearable device delivers a fluid medicament to the subcutaneous tissue of a user. The device is better suited for patients with Parkinson's Disease and other central nervous system disorders, than conventional infusion devices. The device can include a reusable part including a drive component (e.g., motor) and control electronics and a disposable part including one or two medicament reservoirs. Medicament can be evacuated from the medicament reservoir(s) by a plunger assembly that includes a plunger head attached to a lead screw that is linearly moved by a nut rotating in a bushing, all within the disposable part. The device can be fluidically coupled with the tissue via a flexible cannula. |
