The electrode assembly includes a first interface and two electrical leads and the power source includes a second interface and two electrical contacts. The interfaces are configured to facilitate mating engagement therebetween and operative secured electrical continuity between the electrical leads of the electrode assembly and the electrical contacts of the power source.

Abstract: A high current density iontophoretic device, comprising a reservoir, an applicator, an orientation maintaining member and an iontophoretic medicament administering member. The reservoir is capable of retaining medicament. The applicator is positionable upon a surface of an eye and includes at least one punctation therethrough. The at least one punctation is capable of being placed in fluid communication with each of the reservoir and at least one treatment area of an eye upon operative positioning of same. The orientation member substantially maintains the orientation of the applicator in the desired orientation upon operative positioning of same. The iontophoretic administering member serves to administer a medicament from the reservoir to the at least one punctation and, in turn, to a specific region of an eye of a patient.

Abstract: An ocular iontophoretic apparatus comprising a reservoir which includes a outer rim. The outer rim includes a barrier. The barrier is positionable upon the surface of the eye and serves to provide a seal between the reservoir and the surface of the eye. In turn the passage of fluid across the barrier into and out of the reservoir is substantially precluded.
