  • Patent number: 7171263
    Abstract: Electrical treatment apparatus (100) for use with an associated molecule source, comprising: at least one electrode (106); a power source (120) for electrifying said at least one electrode; and a controller, which is programmed to activate the power source (120) to selectively electrify said at least one electrode (106) to apply at least one electric field including a transport effect for transporting a molecule in a desired manner and a non-excitatory control effect for controlling the activity of at least a part of a non-cardiac excitable tissue, said programming selected to achieve a desired provision of said molecule into said at least a part of an excitable tissue or associated vasculature, said desired provision being at least assisted by an interaction between the transport effect and the control effect.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 13, 2000
    Date of Patent: January 30, 2007
    Assignee: Impulse Dynamics NV
    Inventors: Nissim Darvish, Itzhak (Itsik) Shemer
  • Patent number: 7092753
    Abstract: Apparatus (800) for targeted release of a molecule carried in a circulating reservoir, comprising: at least one electrode (804); and a controller (810) adapted to electrify said electrode (804) with at least one electric field, said electric field operative to have at least one desired effect related to said circulating reservoir with said molecule, wherein said electrode and said electrification are adapted such that at least one of said effects is selectively applied to a particular blood vessel that carries blood through tissue and wherein said at least one effect that is selectively applied comprises a release effect, which releases said molecule from said circulating reservoir that circulates in said blood vessel.
