Abstract

See full text

A swellable cannula is formed of concentric inner and outer hydrophilic and substantially non-hydrophilic layer structures. The hydrophilic layer structure comprises at least 2/3rds of the cross-sectional area of the wall of the cannula. The substantially non-hydrophilic layer structure is either substantially water impermeable or allows water to pass through at a controlled rate. The substantially non-hydrophilic layer structure may also control the diffusion of medicaments. The cannula has controlled softenability and swellability characteristics.
