Iontophoresis Flashcards
Ionto parameters
40-80 mA min
amplitude: .1-4 mA
time indirectly prop to current
what is the charge of skin ?
negative
electroosmotic flow
occurs in same direction of flow as counterions
direction of EF is from anode to cathode
how does ionto work
uses electroporation to increase the porosity of superficial skin in response to ES and may faciliate ions into tissues
“wear home “ iontophoresis
principle system in ionto, ions migrate based on volume flow to inject medication into skin
