PORTABLE ION INTRODUCTION UNIT AND METHOD FOR DOSING MEDICINE

摘要

Conventional ion introduction technology is substantially limited to delivering a medicine of single electric field polarity to a specified skin part at a relatively low concentration. It is no yet proved that the technology is effective for a medicine of relatively large molecular size or under conditions of high concentration. Furthermore, control of pH is difficult at the part of skin applied with that technology and it is often difficult to attain a sufficiently high medicine permeation rate. The conventional ion introduction technology is not portable and not suitable to medicines for emergency application or occasional application. The portable ion introduction unit comprises a pocket type portable ion introduction unit body made portable by an attaching means such as suspending from the body by means of a belt characterized in that the portable ion introduction unit body comprises a means for turning on an intermittent flat current of Elliptic R waveform having a frequency of 1500-1530 Hz, and an introduction side electrode terminal and a counter terminal, the two electrode terminals being able to be fixed, respectively, to the target body side and the counter body side.
