- the relative arrangement of the sensory cells 55, the epithelial cells 56 and the glial cells or support cells 57 is illustrated here.
- the preferred location of the active substance depots 51 is illustrated in the immediate vicinity of the sensory cells 55, where the active substance is to be released in order to influence the extracellular milieu.
- the drug depots 51 with an active ingredient or active ingredient mixture are befullt, which is suitable for the extracellular milieu and thus the intracellular Mi ⁇ lieu of the sensory cells 55, of the epithelial cells 56, the glial cells and / or the neck cells to modify 57th They are then connected to one another or to a common coupling structure, namely the tie rod 53, by means of traction means 52 and suspended in a transport fluid.
- the transport fluid is then introduced with an injector between the epithelial cells and the retina or in any case near the cells to be treated, so that the active substance deposits land spatially distributed in the area of the retina 55 to be treated. There they can release the active ingredient locally and at a time if required.
- the need is either determined externally by laser ophthalmoscopy or other suitable methods for local diagnosis, or the drug depots themselves or sensors deployed together with the drug depots determine the need m situ.
- the detector 64 can be used, for example, as a conductivity sensor or as a detector for the ion concentration of calcium ions. If a need is identified, a small amount of the active ingredient is released. This can be done either via the internal control 62 of the active substance depot 51 itself or via an externally supplied signal. In the case of the eye, an optical signal exchange via the interface 63 is suitable for this.
- the active substance dispenser 65 When the active substance dispenser 65 is completely emptied, it can be refilled via the liquid line 71 of the traction device 52. In the simpler case of non-refillable drug depots, all of the drug depots 51 are removed from the implantation site by pulling on the pulling means 52 and replaced by new drug depots 51 which are placed in the manner already described.
