Abstract

Elastomeric infusers represent an important advance in the administration of drugs continuously both in the hospital and in the outpatient setting, managing to keep the plasma values of the drugs constant, ensuring a better symptomatic control, and resulting in an improvement in quality of patients' lives.
Its contribution is invaluable in oncospecific treatments as in the symptoms of terminal patients.
