1. A drug dispensing system, comprising:
- a dispensing module for dispensing medical substances, the dispensing module having a discharge opening;
a mixing channel comprising a hydrophilic nonwoven extending along a length thereof, said hydrophilic nonwoven having capillaries defining a fluid exchange interface, said mixing channel receiving a carrier solution via said hydrophilic nonwoven, wherein an area of emission of the medical substance from said discharge opening of said dispensing module is directed toward the nonwoven such that said hydrophilic nonwoven receives medical substances from said dispensing module, said capillaries of said hydrophilic nonwoven delivering medical substances to said carrier solution at said fluid exchange interface in said mixing channel such that said carrier solution mixes with said medical substances to form a medical fluid.

9. A process for dispensing liquid or particulate substances with a dispensing module, the process comprising the steps of:
-
providing a mixing channel having a hydrophilic nonwoven extending along a length thereof, said hydrophilic nonwoven having a capillary structure defining a fluid exchange interface of said mixing channel; providing a reservoir of carrier solution upstream of said mixing channel; directing an emission area of substance discharge openings of a dispensing module toward the nonwoven such that said capillary structure of said nonwoven receives substances from said dispensing module; passing carrier solution from said reservoir of carrier solution to said mixing channel via said hydrophilic nonwoven such that said carrier solution receives said substances at said fluid exchange interface to form a medical fluid; delivering said medical fluid intravenously to a patient. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)

12. A drug dispensing system, comprising:
-
a dispensing module for dispensing medical substances, the dispensing module having a plurality of discharge openings; a mixing channel having a hydrophilic nonwoven extending along a length thereof, said hydrophilic nonwoven having a capillary structure, said capillary structure defining a fluid exchange surface of said mixing channel; a carrier solution container with carrier solution in said container and taken up by said nonwoven, said carrier solution container being located upstream of said mixing channel, said substance discharge openings of said dispensing module each having an area of emission directed toward said nonwoven in a region in which said carrier solution is taken up; a pump transferring carrier solution from said carrier solution container through said mixing channel via said hydrophilic nonwoven such that said carrier solution mixes with said medical substances at said fluid exchange interface to form a medical fluid mixture, said pump transferring said medical fluid mixture from said mixing channel to a patient. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
