Research abstract
Medipacs, LLC requests SBIR funding to develop a small, lightweight, and disposable infusion pump that allows safe and programmable delivery of drugs under varying environmental conditions including combat. The infusion pump will be self-contained and designed to operate on military litters. The pump will use electroactive polymer actuators in a Pulse-Activated Cell (PACS) architecture, allowing significant savings in weight and cost while maintaining pump precision. With a target unit price under $20, the Medipacs pump will satisfy an unmet need in the miltary and civilian infusion pump markets.
