Osmotic Pumps
Osmotic pumps are devices that use the principle of osmosis to deliver medication or other substances at a controlled rate. They contain a semi-permeable membrane that allows water to flow in, creating pressure inside the pump. This pressure pushes the drug out through an outlet. Osmotic pumps are often used in medical applications, like delivering pain relief or hormone therapy, because they provide a steady and reliable release over time, improving treatment effectiveness and patient comfort. They are designed to work for extended periods without the need for frequent reloading.
