ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a system and method for the delivery of therapeutic agents, such as therapeutic drugs or genetic material, into the muscle or tissue that minimizes the loss of therapeutic agents due to contraction of the muscle. In one embodiment, an implant for delivering therapeutic agents into a muscle is provided, wherein the implant has at least one rod for insertion and delivery of therapeutic agents into the muscle and a patch that can be attached to the exterior surface of the muscle for preventing or minimizing therapeutic agent being expelled due to the contraction of the muscle, such as the beating of a heart muscle.
