主权项 1. A defibrillator, comprising: two paddles for delivering a shock to a patient; each paddle having a microneedle array with two or more rows of conductive microneedles; a device for generating a therapeutic current to deliver the shock to the patient through the two paddles, wherein the device has at least a battery and a capacitor and is partially incorporated within the paddles; and wherein the microneedle array of the two paddles applies a voltage and causes electroporation of a skin surface of the patient and delivers the shock to the patient through the skin surface.
