ABSTRACT:
An injection reservoir or button is adapted for implantation beneath the skin of human and animal patients in conjuction with tissue expanders and drug delivery devices. The injection reservoir includes a base and an exterior wall which define a chamber of liquid reservoir. A duct connects the chamber with an expandable bag of the tissue expander. An elastic rubber member is affixed within the interior of the chamber to act as a sealing member. The rubber member is an inverted dome and is self-sealing to needle punctures because it has a concave interior side which is under compression as a result of having been manufactured into a substantially dome-shaped configuration and thereafter inverted. A metal guard plate is included within the interior of the chamber to guard the base against accidental puncture by an over extended hypodermic needle.
