<p>An electrokinetic delivery or diagnostic device (10) for self-administration of a medicament. The device includes a housing (12) containing a power supply (14), a first active electrode (24) and a ground tactile electrode (30). An applicator (40) includes a pad (44) for containing medicament for overlying the first electrode (24) of the device (10). The medicament may be applied by the user to the pad (44), contained within the pad (44) or contained in rupturable capsules (56) within the pad (44), together with a hydrogel if necessary for imparting electrical conductivity. In another form, the applicator (70) is self-contained, having a power supply (74), a first electrode (78) overlying a pad (44a) and a ground electrode (80) from the opposite side of the pad (44a) whereby an individual presses the pad (44a) against the treatment site to complete the electrical circuit and electrokinetically drive the medicament into the treatment site.</p> |
