Abstract
A medicating bandage in which a controllable permeable membrane is interposed between a medication contained in a bandage pad and the skin of a patient undergoing medication. Passage of the medication through the membrane and into contact with the patient is metered by controlling the permeability of the membrane, preferably under the control of a biosensor and a microcontroller. The combination of a sensor and a controllable permeable membrane has usefulness apart from the bandage pad and medication.
