Abstract
Implantable drug delivery devices are provided that are deformable between a relatively straightened shape suitable for deployment and a retention shape suited to retain the device within the bladder or other body cavity. While in the body cavity, the devices release drug from solid drug units housed in the devices. The devices are designed to house the solid drug units in a way that exposes one or more sides of the solid drug units to the fluid at the in vivo site of deployment. Methods for using the devices for administering drug and making the devices also are provided.
