The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for an electrotherapeutic system including a first and second electrode. Each electrode includes a respective resistance wherein during operation of the electrotherapeutic system, an electrochemical reaction involving one or both of the electrodes varies the respective resistance of at least one of the electrodes.

Method and apparatus for electrotherapy drug delivery

Method for electrotherapy drug delivery

Apparatus for electrotherapy drug delivery with added impurities

An iontophoresis apparatus and method is disclosed that is suited to deliver a plurality of treatment methods such as, but not limited to, body site conductivity enhancement followed by low voltage iontophoresis.

Iontophoresis apparatus and method

A technique for reducing the risk of free flow through a pump is disclosed. The technique includes sensing a pressure difference between the pump inlet and outlet. The pressure difference is mechanically communicated to a flow restricting element. The flow restricting element increases resistance to flow exiting the pump outlet in a relation to the pressure difference present between the pump inlet and pump outlet.

Method and apparatus for reducing free flow risk

An iontophoretic apparatus comprising a housing member, a current distribution member, a medicament containment member and at least one of a lateral and medial straddling member. The straddling member are configured to correspond to the surrounding soft tissue.

Ocular iontophoretic apparatus handle

An electrode for use in an iontophoretic drug delivery having a substantially uniform distribution of current about the electrode. One such electrode includes a substrate, at least one first conductive layer of material disposed upon the substrate and at least one dielectric layer of material disposed upon at least a portion of the at least one conductive layer of material. The dielectric layer cooperates with the conductive layer of material to promote the substantially uniform distribution of current. Another such electrode includes a substrate, a conductive layer of material and a sacrificial layer of material.

Iontophoretic electrode with improved current distribution

An iontophoretic apparatus comprising a housing member, a current distribution member, a medicament containment member and a handle member. The current distribution member is associated with the housing member. The medicament containment member is associated with the current distribution member. The handle member is associated with the housing member. The handle member facilitates the positioning and placement of the iontophoretic apparatus.

A connection system for an iontophoretic drug delivery apparatus comprises an electrode assembly, a power source and a structure for facilitating mating engagement therebetween. The electrode assembly includes a first interface and two electrical leads and the power source includes a second interface and two electrical contacts. The interfaces are configured to facilitate mating engagement therebetween and operative secured electrical continuity between the electrical leads of the electrode assembly and the electrical contacts of the power source.

Connection system for an iontophoretic drug delivery device

A high current density iontophoretic device, comprising a reservoir, an applicator, an orientation maintaining member and an iontophoretic medicament administering member. The reservoir is capable of retaining medicament. The applicator is positionable upon a surface of an eye and includes at least one punctation therethrough. The at least one punctation is capable of being placed in fluid communication with each of the reservoir and at least one treatment area of an eye upon operative positioning of same. The orientation member substantially maintains the orientation of the applicator in the desired orientation upon operative positioning of same. The iontophoretic administering member serves to administer a medicament from the reservoir to the at least one punctation and, in turn, to a specific region of an eye of a patient.

High current density iontophoretic device and method of use thereof

An ocular iontophoretic apparatus comprising a reservoir which includes a outer rim. The outer rim includes a barrier. The barrier is positionable upon the surface of the eye and serves to provide a seal between the reservoir and the surface of the eye. In turn the passage of fluid across the barrier into and out of the reservoir is substantially precluded.

Ocular iontophoretic apparatus

A hydratable bioelectrode for use in an iontophoretic delivery device comprising a hydrating component and a bioelectrode component. The hydrating component includes a cradle having a chamber containing one or more fluid containing ampule(s) and ampule breaking means associated with the cradle for rapidly breaking the one or more fluid containing ampule(s).
