Abstract
A nitric oxide delivery device includes a housing that is permeable to nitric oxide. A working electrode (which is a copper-containing conductive material or a base material coated with a copper-containing conductive material) is positioned inside of the housing. A conductive lead is electrically connected to the working electrode and extends outside of the housing. A reference electrode and/or a counter electrode is electrically isolated from the working electrode. The reference electrode and/or the counter electrode has a first portion that is inside of the housing and a second conductive portion that is outside of the housing. A source of nitrite ions is to be contained within the housing such that it is in contact with the working electrode.
