Title: Innovations of John D. Herberger
Introduction
John D. Herberger is an accomplished inventor based in Moore Park, CA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of polymer-based controlled release devices. With a total of 2 patents, his work focuses on improving the methods of fabricating these innovative devices.
Latest Patents
Herberger's latest patents include methods for fabricating polymer-based controlled release devices. The present invention relates to a polymer-based sustained release device and methods of forming and using the device for the sustained release of an active agent. The improved method involves forming a polymer/active agent solution by mixing a polymer, a continuous phase, and an active agent. The continuous phase can comprise one or more polymer solvents, a polymer solvent/polymer non-solvent mixture, or a polymer solvent/active agent non-solvent mixture. When the continuous phase comprises a polymer solvent/active agent non-solvent, the active agent can also be present as a microparticulate rather than in solution. The continuous phase is then removed from the polymer/active agent solution, thereby forming a solid polymer/active agent matrix.
