A cross-section of a hydromorphone HCI (Hydromorphone HCI) membrane which is a type of membrane used in medical applications. The image shows the structure of the membrane including the rate-controlling membrane laser-drilled hole hard shell and osmotic pump.
The membrane is divided into three sections. The top section is labeled "Rate-Controlling Membrane" the middle section is labeled "Hard Shell" and the bottom section is titled "Osmotic Pump". The membrane has a greenish-blue color and appears to be made of a transparent material. The hard shell is located on the right side of the image and is used to store and transport the membrane.
There is also a label on the top right corner that reads "Laser-Drilled Hole (point of drug release)". This label indicates that the membrane is a point of release for a drug release. The label also mentions that it is a clear or colored membrane and that it can be used to control the flow of liquid or gas through the membrane through a laser or drill hole.
