METHOD AND DEVICE FOR TOPICAL ADMINISTRATION OF SUBSTANCES

摘要

An electric field driven emitter electrode is used for the topical administration of a useful substance to a target portion of a subject's body surface. In operation an electric field of 1,000-15,000 volt is created whereby the useful substance is ionized. The emitter electrode is capable of holding a required amount of the useful substance and is fitted with capillary tubes or rods for the emission of ionized molecular particles. Optionally there is provided a counter electrode.
