Abstract

A method and apparatus for enhancing the flux rate of a fluid through a biological membrane. The method includes the steps of porating a section of the tissue to form one or more micropores in the tissue, and applying a flux enhancer to the tissue through the one or more micropores. The resulting enhancement of fluid flux in the tissue enables more effective harvesting from the body of fluids, as well as more effective delivery of a drug.
