"Infusion devices for continuous and precise drug administration are indispensable tools in anesthesia and critical care medicine," anesthesiologists in Switzerland explained. "Problems such as start-up delays, non-continuous flow and susceptibility to hydrostatic pressure changes at low infusion rates resulting in accidental bolus release or prolonged flow interruption are inherent to current infusion technology."
"In order to improve precise drug delivery, an innovative technical concept has been realized in a novel microvolumetric infusion pump (MVIP) device," according to...
