| Popis: |
The targeted delivery of cytotoxic drugs to cancer patients is intended to optimize therapeutic efficacy and reduce side effects. Early results from pioneer work in Boston using a clockwork drive were positive and led to development of the Chronometric Infusor [2]. This external pump was linked to a percutaneous arterial or venous catheter. It was carried in a foam-rubber pouch to dampen the ticking of the clockwork and attached by straps around the patient’s neck and chest. The plastic drug reservoir of the pump had a capacity of 25 ml, and the system allowed a delivery rate of 5 ml per 24 h. The clockwork required winding after 8–12 h. |
