Abstract
The present invention features devices and methods for delivery of drug to an internal organ surface by delivery of drug directly to the surface of the organ such that the drug traverses the organ surface and enters the organ tissue. The device is in the form of an implantable drug delivery patch comprising a first layer, which is generally substantially drug-impermeable. When the first layer is placed on an outer surface of an organ, a drug reservoir is defined by the first layer and the organ surface.
