WEARABLE IONTOPHORESIS SYSTEM

摘要

A wearable iontophoresis system (1) includes a control housing (5) having a connector (20) and an iontophoresis drug delivery patch (25) for placement against the skin of a patient. The patch (25) has a device for retaining the control housing connector (20) which permits the connector to be removably attached to the patch. The control housing (5) also has at least a power supply device (150) and a current delivery device (160). The control housing (5) has top (10) and bottom (25) surfaces wherein the top surface has raised (35), recessed (40) and sloping (45) regions. The thickness of the connector (20) is tapered from a second end (24) to a first end (23). Furthermore the second end (24) of the connector (20) is attached to the control housing (5) and oriented so that the first end (23) is attached to the control housing (5) and proximate to the control housing bottom surface (15). The iontophoretic drug delivery patch (25) includes top and bottom surfaces wherein mounted to the top surface is the device for retaining the control housing connector.
