Abstract:
Methods for administering medication at or near an intervertebral spinal disc are provided. In various embodiments, a microporous uninflated balloon is inserted into a spinal disk and after insertion of the balloon into the disc space, a medication is inserted into the interior of the balloon. Due to both the pressure on the balloon from the spine and drug diffusion, the medication moves through the pores over time.
