A simple implantable system for delivery of halothane.
A capsule for regulated halothane delivery after abdominal implantation in experimental animals is described. The capsule is constructed of readily available medical-grade polyethylene and Teflon tubing. At 37 C linear halothane release rates of 0.4 to 15 mg/hour may be obtained.
