Patent Number: CA 2 653 335
Date Filed: February 10, 2009
Country Filed In: USA
Product Application: Tooth Medicated Dispenser
Description:
An artificial tooth apparatus for dispensing medicating agents to the body through the patient's jaw bone comprising a mechanical movement and kinetic mainspring winder, a tourbillon mechanism, an electronic regulator, and a pump mechanism arranged and configured to allow any medicating agent to be dispensed from the apparatus in a highly controlled and regulated manner according to input received by the electronic regulator and the patient's specific pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic attributes. Multiple artificial teeth or a comprehensive bridge with several chambers may be used in cases where a polypharmaceutical approach is needed.
Field of Use: The Tooth Metronomic Medicating Dispener is a novel technology of Josh Shachar designed to provide an easy method by which certain therapeutics, such as pain medication, can be delivered to a patient's bloodstream in timed metronomically controlled doses via an implantable artificial tooth that can be easily monitored and refilled as needed for a course of treatment.
