Iontophoresis electrode and iontophoresis device using the electrode
First Claim
1. An iontophoresis unit for an oral mucous membrane for administering through an oral cavity into a living body an effective constituent to be ionized, the iontophoresis unit comprising:
- an iontophoresis device comprisinga) a backing layer;
b) a conductive layer for current dispersion; and
c) a spacer layer made of a dried polymer with water soluble and swelling properties, and containing the effective constituent;
a reference electrode; and
a grasping device for grasping the mucosal membrane between the spacer layer and the reference electrode, the grasping device comprising an electric circuit electrically connecting said iontophoresis device and said reference electrode, and a power supply connected to said electric circuit.

Abstract
This invention relates to an iontophoresis electrode which is applicable to mucous membranes and oral mucous membranes, and especially capable of sticking directly on human oral mucous membranes and excellent in efficiently administering medicine and extremely easy to handle and lightweight.
An iontophoresis electrode (Ka) of this invention comprises a backing layer (1) and, a conductive layer for current dispersion (2) made of silver or silver chloride that laminated on the backing layer (1) and, a spacer layer (3) of film, sheet, or cloth shape which is made of dried polymer layer with water soluble and swelling properties and laminated on the conductive layer for current dispersion, and can be sticked to the oral mucous membrane.
