LOCALISED TRANSDERMAL IONTOPHORETIC DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM
20210113829 · 2021-04-22 ·

A localised transdermal iontophoretic drug delivery system which controls localised transdermal drug delivery doses, transdermal drug delivery depths and transdermal drug delivery speeds is provided. The system includes a power supply, a current driving assembly, an optional switch matrix or multiplexer, and electrode assemblies or an electrode assembly array. The localised transdermal iontophoretic drug delivery system accurately controls a drug delivery current distribution between any electrode combination, so as to locally control a transdermal drug delivery dose, a transdermal drug delivery depth and a transdermal drug delivery speed, in order to implement accurate drug delivery to a user's skin.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TREATMENT OF HYPERHIDROSIS
20210093854 · 2021-04-01 ·

A method and apparatus to treat hyperhidrosis is provided in which a battery provides a milliampere electrical current to the inside of a waterproof glove containing water and sealed to the user's arm so that circulation is not unduly restricted while the user can raise the water-filled gloves and hands above the user's head without leaking. A tapered portion on the proximal end of each glove is folded inside the glove to seal against the user's arm to form a pocket between the tapered portion which seals against the user's arms, and part of a wrist portion of the glove located radially outward of the tapered portion. When the user's gloves and hands rotate upward, water collects in the pocket(s) while the tapered portion provides a leakproof seal, thus allowing manual manipulation while wearing the water-filled gloves.
