Electroporation electrodes are laminated to a permeable membrane
to form an electrode membrane. Such an electrode membrane is useful for a continuous
controlled delivery of a therapeutic agent through the skin or mucosa, when placed
in direct contact with the skin or mucosa and by application of electric field
pulses at specified intervals. An electrode membrane can be assembled such that
it incorporates an iontophoretic electrode in the same device. This device can
be jointly utilized for electroporation and iontophoretic drug delivery through
the skin and mucosal membrane.
