Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
174 words
A delivery system for delivering a beneficial agent to a fluid environment of use, wherein the delivery system comprises: (a) two sections assembled together at their receiving ends to form the delivery system; wherein (b) one section comprises a first wall that is substantially impervious to the passage of fluid and surrounds a first reservoir area; (c) one section comprises a second wall that is substantially pervious to the passage of fluid and surrounds a second reservoir area; (d) exit means in the first wall in the delivery system for delivering the beneficial agent from the first reservoir area to the environment of use; and wherein the delivery system comprises: (e) means in the second reservoir area surrounded by the second wall pervious to fluid for pushing the beneficial agent from the reservoir; and, (f) a beneficial agent in the first reservoir area surrounded by the first wall substantially impervious to the passage of fluid for protecting a fluid-sensitive beneficial agent while in the first reservoir from fluid present in the environment of use.
