ABSTRACT:
The present invention features a method of treating infection in a barrier membrane by applying to the membrane a device having a barrier membrane contacting surface that administers an oxidizing agent to the barrier membrane, wherein the device contains: a power source; a first conductive electrode, wherein the first conductive electrode is an inert anode; a second conductive electrode, wherein the second conductive electrode is a cathode; and a carrier containing water; wherein the power source is in electric communication with the first conductive electrode and the second conductive electrode, wherein the first conductive electrode is in ionic communication with the carrier, wherein the oxidizing agent is generated by electric current passing from the first conductive electrode through the carrier, and wherein the carrier is in communication with the barrier membrane contacting surface.
