Abstract: A system and method are provided for performing predictive permeation on the skin of a patient, particularly where the skin has no corneum. For this purpose, a device is provided which has an elongated probe, with an electrode array that extends along an active segment of the probe. Also, a voltage source is connected to the electrode array to generate an electric field. Operationally, an electro-conductive emulsion is applied onto the skin of the patient where the predictive permeation procedure is to be performed and the probe is positioned to contact the skin to be treated. The emulsion then interacts with the electric field that is generated by the electrode array to increase the permeability of the skin. Particles from a blood sample of the patient are included in the emulsion, and are introduced into the skin during the predictive permeation procedure to increase skin density.

Abstract: A device for electrically exciting tissue in the uveal and periuveal areas of the eye includes a frame similar to an eyeglass frame in shape and construction. Two flat, disk-shaped electrodes are attached to the frame. When the frame is placed on the head of the patient, the electrodes are positioned adjacent the orbits of the patient's eyes. A voltage source and electronic circuitry is provided to establish a voltage differential between the electrodes thereby allowing electrical currents to flow from one electrode to the other, stimulating the tissue and other cells in the uveal and periuveal areas of the eyes. Alternatively, the patient's body can be isolated from ground and the voltage source used to place a negative charge on each electrode to thereby create beneficial negative ions in the uveal and periuveal areas of each eye.
