A surgically implantable and sealable delivery device that upon contact of
its contents via an interface window or port therein with an organ or
tissue exposes a therapeutic agent to the organ or tissue surface,
allowing a controlled, selective and unidirectional diffusion of the
agent into the tissue or organ. The device protects adjacent organs or
tissue structures from unnecessary high levels of the delivered agent.
Novel methods to deliver chemotherapeutics or bioactive agents to
mammalian organs or tissues through a surgically implanted device by the
way of a selective and protected diffusion mechanism are disclosed as
well as method to achieve the sealing properties of the device.
