Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassesA61N 1/30 (20060101)A61N 1/32 (20060101) Foreign Application Priority Data1983-09-01 JPAbstractA device for iontophoresis including an electric source, a pulse generator, a working electrode, and a counter electrode is described. This device has a circuit for discharging the charges accumulated in said electrodes during each intermission period of therapeutic pulses generated by said pulse generator (i.e., a circuit for effecting the depolarization between the above-mentioned both electrodes during each intermission period of therapeutic pulses).This device can be directly and very easily applied to the human skin, without causing undesirable irritation in the skin, especially without causing burns and rubefaction in the skin. | |
