Abstract

An implantable iontophoretic delivery system for use in applying medicinal materials rapidly to specific subcutaneous tissue sites of interest in conjunction with an implanted defibrillator is disclosed which uses a subcutaneously situated pouch for supplying medication in conjunction with a pair of defibrillator electrodes connected to a power source. One of the electrodes is located proximately with respect to the tissue of interest and is designed to dispense the medication of interest utilizing controlled electrical pulses. The pouch is connected with the administering electrode of the electrode system via pumping mechanism.
