    摘要: A low-profile multipathway automatic drug delivery system utilizing a battery powered control pad coupled to a disposable drug storage and delivery system and strapped to a patient's limb or torso. A preprogrammed or on-demand drug administration sequence is input to the control pad. When a drug is to be administered, the control pad ignites a high energy density propellant charge in the drug delivery system. Expanding propellant gas exerts pressure on a drug in a second chamber and forces it from the storage reservoir. Depending upon the type of drug delivery system required for the drug being administered, the propellant will either: (i) force a hypodermic needle into a patient's muscle tissue, propel the drug in the storage container into the needle embedded in the patient, and withdraw the needle; (ii) force the drug from the storage container through a jet nozzle where the drug is injected into subcutaneous tissue; (iii) force the drug from the storage container into a patch for passive transdermal delivery; (iv) force the drug into a patch for iontophoretic transdermal diffusion; or (v) force together two drugs stored separately that are unstable when mixed, and then administer them through one of the methods described in steps (i) to (iv).

    摘要: A hydratable iontophoretic bioelectrode includes a layer of material for absorbing and holding an ionized fluid when placed in contact with the fluid. A conductive sheet of material is positioned in contact with one side of the layer of material and is connectable to an electrical charged source to receive a charge of the same polarity as the polarity of ions in the fluid. A support base holds the layer of material and conductive sheets in place to enable placement of the layer of material against the skin or tissue of a person into which ions from the ionized fluid are to be delivered. This is carried out by applying the charge in question to the conductive sheet to cause the ions in the layer of material to migrate therefrom into the person's skin or tissue.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for administering known quantities of medicaments by iontophoresis, while avoiding burns caused by extremes in the pH of the medicament medium during passage of an electric current, are disclosed. It is known that as iontophoresis progresses in conventional iontophoresis systems, the electrolysis of water occurs to produce hydrogen or hydroxyl ions at the interface of the electrode and medicament medium. Since these ions are highly mobile, they are transported directly into the skin of a patient in preference to the larger medicament ions. Thus, extreme changes in pH are experienced which result in burns due to the acidificaion or alkalinization of the medicament medium and passage of electric current through the skin. In addition, the efficiency of iontophoresis decreases over time. The present invention avoids extremes in pH by removing the hydrogen or hydroxyl ions which are created during iontophoresis and creates conditions for constant delivery over prolonged periods of time.In the present invention, the medicament ions are attached to an ion exchange matrix, such as an ion exchange resin. When the medicament leaves the ion exchange matrix, the vacated active site is filled by the produced electrolysis products, thereby allowing iontophoresis to progress at a relatively constant pH.

    摘要: An automatic injection device includes a drug-filled vessel having a flexible membrane over a first opening thereof and a puncturable seal in a wall thereof, a hollow needle attached at a first end to the flexible membrane and having a sharp end positioned proximate the puncturable seal housing. A pressure source such as a combustible propellant provides a compressed gas above the flexible membrane to force the membrane into the drug-filled vessel, forcing the hollow needle through the puncturable seal and the drug contained in the vessel through the hollow needle. After the drug has been substantially evacuated from the vessel, the membrane is allowed to return to its pre-expanded state thus retracting the hollow needle into the vessel. Preferably, the flexible membrane is an elastomeric material having a plurality of concentrically configured corrugations to allow expansion of the membrane into the vessel. The inner surface of the vessel may have a dome-like shape such that expansion of the membrane into the vessel substantially matches the dome-like shape and thus forces substantially the entire amount of the drug from the vessel.

    摘要: A hydratable iontophoretic bioelectrode includes a plurality of layers of material capable of absorbing and holding an ionized fluid when placed in contact with the fluid. Adjacent layers are maintained at least partially out of contact from one another by disposition between the layers of spacing elements such as sugar or other dissolvable particles or cellulose. The edges of the layers may be crimped to maintain the layers in a stack for assembly with an electrode sheet; such a sheet would be provided for receiving an electrical current to thereby produce an electric field and cause a migration of ions of the ionized fluid away from the electrode sheet and into the skin or tissue of a person or animal against which the bioelectrode is placed.

    摘要: An iontophoretic bioelectrode includes an enclosure forming upper sheet of material having a generally planar outer section circumscribing a raised central section which defines an interior compartment. A compliant, resilient and sticky raised barrier is formed on the underside of the outer section of the upper sheet of material to circumscribe the central section. When placed against the skin of a person, the barrier adheres to the skin to form a seal completely around the central section and interior compartment into which an ion carrying solution may then be introduced for administration, by iontophoresis, into a persons' skin.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for treating acne, boils and similar skin disorders which are characterized by closed, blocked channels in the epidermis of the skin. The method comprises applying an applicator electrode on the skin of the person to be treated; providing a relatively small amount of water containing dissolved ions in contact with the applicator electrode and the affected tissue; applying a dispersive electrode on the skin of the person to be treated; applying a voltage differential to the applicator and dispersive electrodes such that the applicator electrode has a negative charge and the dispersive electrode has a positive charge; producing hydroxyl ions at the applicator electrode to develop a strongly alkaline solution therein, and driving the ions down the channels of the affected tissue by iontophoresis; continuing the application of the voltage differential to the applicator and dispersive electrodes for a time sufficient to disrupt the blockage of the channels in the affected tissue and to establish drainage from the channels.
