Abstract
The iontophoretic device of the present invention comprises (a) a source for providing an electrical signal, (b) an electrode mounting block having a plurality of separate openings formed therein in spaced-apart relation from one another, with each of the openings configured to receive an iontophoresis electrode, (c) a plurality of iontophoresis electrodes electrically connected to the source and capable of transmitting electrical signal, each of the iontophoresis electrodes having a skin contact surface and each of the iontophoresis electrodes being received in one of the openings formed in the electrode mounting block, (d) a signal distribution network electrically connected to both the source and each of the plurality of electrodes and configured for distributing a electrical signal to each of the plurality of electrodes, and (e) a receiver connected to the source for accepting electrical signal transmitted by the plurality of electrodes, with the receiver of sufficient capacity to simultaneously accept electrical signal transmitted by each of the plurality of electrodes.
