摘要:
The disclosed “Quilt” is in two “Parts”, each Part having a level of insulation which is independent of the other Part. For example, one “Part” can be extremely warm, and the other “Part” can be extremely cool. Both “Parts” can then be joined together to form a “Quilt”. When juxtaposed the two separate “Parts” of the “Quilt”, are a reverse image of each other, sharing both Negative and Positive componentry of a joiner. In this instance a Hook and Loop fastener is sewn into the joining “Channel Wall” of each “Part”. The Hook Fastener tape is sewn along one half of the edge of the joining “Channel Wall” to the middle of the “Channel Wall”, and the other half of the joining “Channel Wall” is sewn with a Loop Fastener tape. This arrangement permits both “Parts” can be purchased separately, and joined together allowing the individual to choose their own level of thermal resistance independently, while still being joined up with another individual's chosen thermal resistance.

摘要:
Provided is a method for loading electrode-corroding ingredients into an un-loaded donor gel reservoir of an electrode for an electrically assisted drug delivery system. The method provides that a salt, such as sodium chloride or an organic salt, is provided in the un-loaded donor gel reservoir, contrary to convention. Related electrically assisted drug delivery electrode assemblies also are provided.
摘要:
A reservoir-electrode for an iontophoretic delivery device of the present invention includes an electrode; and a hydrophilic reservoir situated in electrically conductive relation to the electrode. The reservoir is formed from a bibulous hydrophilic cross-linked polymeric material having a substantially uniform concentration of an alkali metal chloride salt therein thereby substantially eliminating concentration gradients of the salt with respect to the electrode. The polymeric material has a first surface and a second surface that is adhesively adherent to the electrode. The first surface of the polymeric material is releasably adhesive to an applied area of a patient's skin. The polymeric material has a cohesive strength, wherein a bond strength of an adhesive bond between the second surface of the polymeric material to the electrode is greater than the cohesive strength of the polymeric material and an adhesive bond strength of the first surface of the polymeric material to the applied area of the patient is less than the cohesive strength of the polymeric material so that upon removal of the reservoir-electrode from the applied area of the patient, substantially no polymeric material remains on the applied area and the reservoir remains substantially intact and adhesively adherent to the electrode.
