An electrokinetic delivery or diagnostic device (10) for self-administration of a medicament. The device includes a housing (12) containing a power supply (14), a first active electrode (24) and a ground tactile electrode (30). An applicator (40) includes a pad (44) for containing medicament for overlying the first electrode (24) of the device (10). The medicament may be applied by the user to the pad (44), contained within the pad (44) or contained in rupturable capsules (56) within the pad (44), together with a hydrogel if necessary for imparting electrical conductivity. In another form, the applicator (70) is self-contained, having a power supply (74), a first electrode (78) overlying a pad (44a) and a ground electrode (80) from the opposite side of the pad (44a) whereby an individual presses the pad (44a) against the treatment site to complete the electrical circuit and electrokinetically drive the medicament into the treatment site.
一种用于自我给药的电动给药或诊断装置(10)。该装置包括一个外壳(12),其中包含一个电源(14)、一个第一有源电极(24)和一个接地触觉电极(30)。涂抹器 (40) 包括一个垫子 (44),用于在设备 (10) 的第一电极 (24) 上覆盖药物。用户可将药剂涂抹在垫子(44)上,也可将药剂装在垫子(44)内,或将药剂装在垫子(44)内的可破裂胶囊(56)中,必要时还可将药剂与
水凝胶一起用于导电。在另一种形式中,涂药器 (70) 是独立的,具有电源 (74)、覆盖在药垫 (44a) 上的第一电极 (78) 和来自药垫 (44a) 另一侧的接地电极 (80)。
