There is disclosed a novel device intended to permit the regular and continuous release of chemical substances, including medicaments, and this, over a very long period of time, the release of the active substances following a predetermined kinetic effect from an insoluble polymeric matrix to a liquid medium which can be, particularly, that of an animal or human organism. The device has a specific density to remain in an animal rumen. There is also disclosed a method for treating animals by means of such devices.

A device for enabling release at regulated speed into a liquid medium of one or more substances active in veterinary medicine, said device being constituted by an insoluble macro-molecular and thermoplastic solid polymeric matrix support based on insoluble polymer or copolymer comprising adjuvant and additive, enabling the progressive and programmed release of said one or more incorporated active substances, wherein the initial concentration of said one or more active substances on the one hand and the surface of the insoluble polymeric matrix support through which the diffusion is effected on the other hand are determined as a function of the duration of release and the desired daily released amount, said matrix support totally or almost totally enclosing one or more masses of dense material conferring to the whole device a density higher than 1.3 g/ml, said matrix support retaining its surface during use of the device.
