Abstract
The transport efficiency of a drug using an iontophoresis device is increased using a negative pressure device.
The iontophoresis device includes a working electrode assembly and a non-working electrode assembly for administering drug by iontophoresis. Each of the working electrode assembly and the non-working electrode assembly includes an adhesive surface configured to adhere to a biological interface. A DC electric power source is connected to the working electrode assembly and the non-working electrode assembly. The iontophoresis device further includes a negative pressure device integral with at least one of the working electrode assembly and the non-working electrode assembly and configured to maintain a negative pressure between the at least one of the working electrode assembly and the non-working electrode assembly and the biological interface.
