An electrokinetic delivery or diagnostic device for personal use and self-administration of a medicament to a treatment site is provided. The device includes a housing containing a power supply, a first active electrode and a ground tactile electrode. An applicator includes a pad for containing medicament for overlying the first electrode of the device. The medicament may be applied by the user to the pad, contained within the pad or contained in rupturable capsules within the pad, together with a hydrogel if necessary for imparting electrical conductivity whereby, upon application of the applicator to the treatment site, the medicament is electrokinetically transported into the treatment site. In another form, the applicator is self-contained, having a power supply, a first electrode overlying a pad and a ground electrode from the opposite side from the pad whereby the individual presses the pad against the treatment site to complete the electrical circuit and electrokinetically drive the medicament into the treatment site.
本文提供了一种个人使用的电动给药或诊断装置,可将药物自行给药到治疗部位。该装置包括一个外壳,内含一个电源、一个第一有源电极和一个接地触觉电极。涂抹器包括一个垫子,用于在设备的第一电极上覆盖药剂。用户可将药剂涂抹在垫子上,或将药剂装在垫子内,或将药剂装在垫子内的可破裂胶囊中,必要时还可加上水凝胶,以赋予药剂导电性,从而在将涂抹器涂抹到治疗部位时,将药剂以电动方式输送到治疗部位。在另一种形式中,涂抹器是独立的,有一个电源、一个覆盖在垫子上的第一电极和一个与垫子相对的接地电极。
