<p>A device (30) for delivering a pharmaceutically active compound or cosmetic substance to a subject comprises a flexible substrate sheet (36) to which an electronic controller (31) is attached. The controller (31) is provided with a pair of electrical contacts on the underside thereof and is adhered to the sheet (36) by means of a pair of strips (42, 43) of electrically conductive adhesive. The underside of the sheet (36) is printed in two halves (34, 35) with electrically conductive ink to provide a pair of electrodes separated by an insulating barrier (38). A tab (32, 33) extends from each electrode and is folded onto the top of the sheet such that the contacts of the controller (31) are adhered in electrical connection with the tabs and thus also with the electrodes. The use of an adhesive to connect a controller in electrical communication with the electrodes enables an extremely simple construction of delivery device to be achieved.</p> |
