Abstract Fibrous capsule (FC) formation, secondary to the foreign body response (FBR), impedes molecular transport and is detrimental long-term efficacy of implantable drug delivery devices, especially when tunable, temporal control necessary. We report development an mechanotherapeutic platform mitigate overcome this host immune using two distinct, yet synergistic soft robotic strategies. Firstly, daily intermittent actuation (cycling at 1 Hz for 5 minutes every 12 hours) preserves...
