Abstract
A device for delivering an active agent to a dermal or mucosal surface comprising: a) a first portion configured to define a delivery surface for presentation to a dermal or mucosal surface to deliver an active agent; and b) a second portion configured as a body to be held by a user further comprising a means for driving the passage of the active agent across the dermal or mucosal surface wherein the first portion and the second portion are adapted to be releasably interconnected and wherein the means for driving the passage of the active agent across the dermal or mucosal surface comprises an electromagnetophoresis dermaportation device located immediately adjacent the point of interconnection to the first portion.
Claims16
1) A device for delivering an active agent to a dermal or mucosal surface comprising:
- a) a first portion configured to define a delivery surface for presentation to a dermal or mucosal surface to deliver an active agent;
- and
- b) a second portion configured as a body to be held by a user further comprising a means for driving the passage of the active agent across the dermal or mucosal surface
- wherein the first portion and the second portion are adapted to be releasably interconnected and wherein the means for driving the passage of the active agent across the dermal or mucosal surface comprises an electromagnetophoresis dermaportation device located immediately adjacent the point of interconnection to the first portion.
15) A method for delivering an active agent to a dermal or mucosal surface comprising the step of:
- moving a device for delivering an active agent to a dermal or mucosal surface over the dermal or mucosal surface
- wherein the device for delivering an active agent comprises
- a first portion configured to define a delivery surface for presentation to a dermal or mucosal surface to deliver an active agent;
- and
- a second portion configured as a body to be held by a user
- wherein the first portion and the second portion are adapted to be releasably interconnected, such that the active agent in the first portion is delivered to the dermal or mucosal surface and wherein the second portion further comprises a means for driving the passage of the active agent across the dermal or mucosal surface, said means for driving the passage of the active agent comprising an electromagnetophoresis dermaportation device located immediately adjacent the interconnection point of the first portion.
