20080319371 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TREATING OF ONYCHOMYCOSIS WITH AN APPLICATOR HAVING A GEL MEDICAMENT LAYER - A method to electrokinetically deliver a medicament to a nail of a mammalian user including: forming a cast of the nail of the user wherein the cast is a reverse impression of the nail; applying a medicament matrix to the nail; sandwiching the medicament matrix between the cast and the nail; pressing the medicament matrix to the nail using the cast; applying electrical current to an electrical current path extending through the medicament matrix and the nail, and delivering medicament from the matrix into the nail by electrokinetic transporting the medicament along the current path. | 12-25-2008 |
20080312580 | CURRENT CONCENTRATION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ELECTROKINETIC DELIVERY OF MEDICAMENTS - An electrokinetic apparatus to apply medicament to a treatment site of a mammalian user, the apparatus including: a flux concentrator including an active electrode and a counter electrode adapted to be applied to the surface of a toenail or fingernail of the user, and a medicament matrix adjacent the active electrode and arranged to be sandwiched between the active electrode and nail. | 12-18-2008 |
20080312579 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MITIGATING CURRENT CONCENTRATION IN ELECTROKINETIC DRUG DELIVERY - An electrokinetic apparatus to apply medicament to a treatment site of a mammalian user, the apparatus including: a segmented active electrode; a medicament matrix having one side abutting the segmented active electrode and another side adapted to contact a surface of skin over the treatment site, wherein the matrix includes at least one current direction barrier suppressing transverse current flow through the matrix. | 12-18-2008 |
20080262581 | CURRENT DENSITY DETECTION AND CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AN ELECTROKINETIC DELIVERY OF MEDICAMENTS - An apparatus to monitor current density in the application of medicament to a treatment site of a mammalian user of a electrokinetic device including: an applicator cartridge including an active electrode, a matrix carrying a medicament or a medicament and an electrically conductive carrier; a device including an electrical power source connectable to the active electrode, a counter electrode, and an electronic circuit configured to control the application of electrical current through the active electrode to establish a conductive path extending from the power source, through the active electrode, matrix, the treatment site, the user and the counter electrode electrically connected to the power source, and an array of contacts monitoring current density flowing through the matrix and to the treatment site, wherein the array of sensors are arranged monitor the current density at various locations of the matrix and a contact area between the matrix and skin above the treatment site. | 10-23-2008 |
20080262414 | SINGLE USE APPLICATOR CARTRIDGE FOR AN ELECTROKINETIC DELIVERY SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SELF ADMINISTRATION OF MEDICAMENTS - An applicator cartridge for use with a device for electrokinetically delivering a medicament to a treatment site, the cartridge including: an applicator head including an active electrode, and a conductive path extending between a pair of electrical contacts, wherein the electrical contacts electrically engage respective contacts on the device when the cartridge is inserted into the device; a matrix support surface of said applicator head adjacent the active electrode; a matrix attached to the matrix support surface and in contact with the active electrode, the matrix having an exposed surface adapted to be applied to the treatment site; a medicament or a medicament and an electrically conductive carrier carried by said matrix; a removable lid covering the exposed surface of the matrix and sealed to the applicator head, the lid is conductively coupled to the applicator head and completes the conductive path on the applicator head, wherein removal of the lid breaks the conductive path. | 10-23-2008 |
