Drug Delivery Devices

Medical devices that put fluids or medicine into the body in a controlled way, such as the infusion pump, which feeds fluids, medication or nutrients into a patient circulatory system at a set rate, and the nebulizer, which turns a drug into a mist that the patient breathes in. An invention belongs here when the cited article describes it as a device for delivering medication, fluids or nutrients to a patient. It excludes implants that deliver electrical stimulation rather than a substance.
