ABSTRACT:
An implantable electrophoretic pump for ionic drugs and the method of using the same is provided. A reservoir is provided with a filler opening and a discharge opening. The discharge opening has a diffusion membrane and a pair of associated electrodes. A battery and electronic components provide for energizing the electrodes so as to effect ion transfer of the ionic drugs into other portions of the patient's body through the voltage induced between the two electrodes. The pump is particularly useful for ionic drugs such as insulin, blood thinners, antibiotics and the like. A method of making a porous electrode.
