ABSTRACT
The opioid epidemic presents a significant public health challenge, necessitating innovative
approaches for effective treatment. Devices intended to treat Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) have
emerged as promising solutions, offering potential advantages over traditional methods. This
involves analyzing existing identifying gaps, and pinpointing areas where innovative devices can
bring substantial improvements. Navigating regulatory pathways is critical to ensure the safety and
efficacy of innovative OUD treatment devices. Rigorous clinical trials are fundamental to establish
the safety and efficacy of OUD treatment devices. Addressing the opioid epidemic requires
innovative approaches, and devices intended to treat OUD offer promising solutions. The
stakeholders can collaborate to develop, validate, and implement effective and safe devices that
transform OUD treatment, ultimately improving patient outcomes and public health. Objective:
To comprehend a medical device for treating opioid use disorder in US
