Definitions
- My invention relates to a device for inserting medicaments into the human or animal body by means of iontophoresis It is known to insert medicaments into the body by iontophoresis. To this end the medicament is put on the skin in fluid state and covered with an electrode connected to one pole of a direct current source while the other pole of said current source is connected to another electrode being in contact with any other part of the body. Thus the current flowing through the electrode and the medicament inserts the latter through the skin into the body. Instead of putting the medicament directly upon the skin it is also known to impregnate a pad of cotton-wool with the medicament and to lay this pad under the one electrode upon the skin. Both methods have several disadvantages.
- One object of my invention is to provide means for performing the iontophoresis which can be used by everybody without danger of poisoning by the poisonous medicaments necessary therefor.
- Another object is to provide a device for the said purpose by which the waste of medicaments is avoided. Another object is to prevent burning of the skin by the current.
- My invention consists in a lining for the active electrode for the iontophoresis, said lining consisting of a material being impregnated with the necessary quantity of the medicament.
- This impregnated lining which may consist of filteringpaper, blotting-paper, textile fabric or the like can be given into the hand of the patient without scruple as wrong use of it is impossible so that the patient is thus enabled to cure his pains, for
- each piece of the lining contains only as much of the medicament as necessary for one treatment. It is advantageous to mix the medicament with a disinfectant like thymol in order to prevent any decomposition of the medicament when storing for longer time.
- a disinfectant like thymol in order to prevent any decomposition of the medicament when storing for longer time.
- the lining consists of the above named materials like paper or textile the water contained in the medicament will evaporate after the impregnation and the lining has to be moistened before use so as to make it conductive for the current. This is not necessary if the lining consists of hygroscopic material like hectograph-paste as in this case the lining remains damp permanently.
- a metallic covering serving as electrode.
- This covering may consist of a foil fastened to the lining or be produced on the lining by galvanoplastic depositing or by squirting.
- a lining for the active electrode for use in a device for inserting medicaments into the human or animal body by iontophoresis, a lining for the active electrode, said lining being impregnated with a quantity of the medicament substantially exactly sufiicient for a single treatment, said lining being substantially free of water capable of evaporating therefrom.
- a lining for the active electrode for use in a device for inserting medicaments into the human or animal body by iontophoresis, a lining for the active electrode, said lining being impregnated with a quantity of the medicament substantially exactly suflicient for a single treatment, and a thin flexible metallic covering secured to said lining and constituting the active electrode.
