20220339029 · 2022-10-27 ·

The present disclosure relates to devices and systems for targeted and controlled delivery of a therapeutic agent to a treatment site of an eye. Particularly, aspects are directed to a therapeutic agent delivery device that includes a polymeric substrate having a release region, a delivery region, and a receiving region; one or more reservoirs formed within the release region; a therapeutic agent disposed within the one or more reservoirs; an active, passive, or combination thereof controlled release mechanism for release of the therapeutic agent from the one or more reservoirs into the delivery region; and a circuit formed on the polymeric substrate, the circuit having a current source, a first iontophoresis electrode located within the delivery region for transport of the therapeutic agent from the delivery region into a target tissue via electromigration, and a second iontophoresis electrode located within the receiving region for maintaining electroneutrality within the tissue.

System for the transdermal delivery of active ingredient

The invention relates to a transdermal therapeutic system (TTS) for delivering pharmaceutical active ingredients. The TTS includes a cover layer and at least one active-ingredient-containing carrier material. At least one retaining element is located between the active-ingredient-containing carrier material and the cover layer, with the retaining element fixing the active-ingredient-containing carrier material onto the cover layer. The invention further relates to a method for fastening an active-ingredient-containing carrier material to a cover layer of a TTS in the presence of hook-and-loop strip segments and the use of a hook-and-loop strip in transdermal or iontophoretic administration of pharmaceutical or therapeutic active ingredients to patients.

A method, system, and device for electroporation. A method for electroporating tissue, the method may include positioning a medical device having a plurality of electrodes proximate an area of tissue, delivering electroporation energy to the plurality of electrodes with an energy generator, receiving data from the plurality of electrodes, determining whether an alert condition is present based upon the data received from the plurality of electrodes, and at least one of cease a delivery of electroporation energy to the plurality of electrodes and prevent the delivery of electroporation energy to the plurality of electrodes when a processing circuitry determines that an alert condition is present.

Transdermal permeant application device

The device of the present invention comprises an intervening release liner as a common special feature, and the intervening release liner covers a part of an adhesive surface of a patch. The intervening release liner gets away from the patch, and is fixed to a patch application support (or porator tab). Due to such constitution, under a situation in use where the first part of the adhesive area of the patch adheres to a skin surface, the patch application support is slidable along the skin surface while peeling the intervening release liner from said part of the adhesive area of the patch to adhere to the skin surface.

Devices, systems, and methods for delivering electrical current to the body

Electrical current can be delivered to the skin to treat hyperhidrosis or other conditions using wearable and non-wearable devices. Wearable devices to deliver electrical current can include an inner assembly that carries one or more electrodes and an outer assembly that can be worn over the inner assembly. Contact between electrodes and the user's skin can be promoted using suction, support components, or filler materials. Non-wearable devices can be grasped by a user or otherwise placed into contact with a treatment site for delivery of electrical current to the user's skin. Electrode lay-out for wearable and non-wearable devices can be optimized for current density distribution across the electrode.

High energy iontophoresis method for rapid transdermal disinfection
11406819 · 2022-08-09 ·

A system, method, and apparatus for rapid transdermal disinfection includes a processor or equivalent that generates a series of pulses having pulse widths limited to less than two microseconds. The pulses are amplified to a direct-current voltage of between 150 volts and 500 volts and connected to a positive electrode for attaching to an animal. A negative electrode for attaching to the animal is electrically connected to a current limiter for limiting electrical current flow between the positive electrode and the negative electrode to between 0.2 amps and 2 amps.

Systems, methods and devices for a skull/brain interface

Methods, devices, and systems induce neuromodulation by focusing a source of stimulation through a skull/brain interface in the form of an aperture formed in the skull, a naturally occurring fenestration in the skull, or a transcranial channel. Methods, devices, and systems identify where to locate skull/brain interfaces, accessories that can be used with the interfaces, and features for controlling stimulation delivered through the interfaces. Multiple indications for the skull/brain interfaces include diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders and conditions such as epilepsy, movement disorders, depression, Alzheimer's disease, autism, coma, and pain.

ELECTROPORATION DEVICE HAVING A BATTERY PACK WITH POWER SWITCH
20220184378 · 2022-06-16 ·

An electroporation device having a battery pack including a plurality of battery cells and at least one lead in electrical communication with a circuit board. The battery pack including a safety switch and a controller for selectively placing the battery cells in electrical communication with the one lead. Where the controller is in operable communication with the safety switch such that when the controller detects one or more operating conditions the controller instructs the safety switch to electrically isolate the lead from the battery cells. The battery pack also includes a manual switch, and where activation of the switch causes the controller to instruct the safety switch to electrically isolate the lead from the battery cells.
