<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrode having a current distribution element which provides improved distribution of current about the electrode. <P>SOLUTION: An electrode 10 for use in an iontophoretic drug delivery having a substantially uniform distribution of current about the electrode. One such electrode includes a substrate 20, at least one first conductive layer of material 22 disposed upon the substrate 20 and at least one dielectric layer of material 24 disposed upon at least a portion of the at least one conductive layer of material. The dielectric layer cooperates with the conductive layer of material to promote the substantially uniform distribution of current. Another such electrode includes a substrate, a conductive layer of material and a sacrificial layer of material. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
