The effectiveness of state-of-the-art systemic treatments for neurological disorders is hampered not only by the difficulty in crossing the blood brain barrier but also off-target drug interactions. In this study, a delivery method is simulated for a novel U-shaped microtube locally infusing drugs directly into the extracellular space of the brain and relying on diffusion as a transport mechanism. The influence of flow rate, drug properties and device geometry are investigated. It is anticipated that these findings will accelerate progress on both developmental and applied drug delivery and materials research.
