An exemplary embodiment of a process can be provided for a manufacture of
an implantable medical device or a part thereof. For example, at least
one metallic layer can be deposited on a three-dimensional template of
the device and at least partially removing the template. Implants can be
produced, e.g., which may have relatively large reservoirs for including
an active ingredient, such as a pharmacologically, therapeutically or
biologically active agent, a diagnostically active agent, a marker, an
absorptive agent, for eluting in-vivo.
