A drug delivery device for implantation into a patient is provided that
includes at least one device element that includes a substrate having a
plurality of discrete reservoirs disposed therein, the reservoirs
containing drug molecules and a degradable matrix material which controls
in vivo release of the drug molecules from the reservoirs, wherein the
drug delivery device is adapted to conform to a curved bone tissue
surface. In one embodiment, the substrate is flexible and conforms to a
bone tissue surface. In another embodiment, the device has two or more
device elements attached to or integral with a flexible supporting layer.
