Iontophoresis system
First Claim
1. An iontophoresis system for non-invasively extracting a physiological substance out of a living body comprising:
- a first electrode structure having a physiological extraction pad thereon, said first electrode structure affixed to a first fixing member,a second electrode structure affixed to a second fixing member, said second fixing member hingedly engaged with said first fixing member at a hinge connection so as to form a cross shape,a spring member in attachment to the first fixing member and the second fixing member, on one side of the hinge connection, so as to bias the first electrode structure and the second electrode structure together, anda power supply device connected to the electrode structures.

Abstract
The present invention provides an iontophoresis system for non-invasively taking a physiological substance out of the living body, the system being suitably used for the mucous membrane. The present iontophoresis system non-invasively takes a physiological substance out of a living body. The system includes a plurality of electrode structures and a power supply device connected to the electrode structures. At least one of the electrode structures has a physiological substance extraction pad applied to the mucous membrane. In the present system, the time to apply electric energy to the living body by the power supply device is set between 30 seconds and 20 minutes. The physiological substance extraction pad which is provided in the electrode structure is applicable to the mucous membrane of the mouth and can be used, for example, to monitor glucose in the living body or an amount of drug administered.
