1. A method for transdermal delivery of a bio-active agent to the skin of an animal or human, comprising;
contacting a device to the skin of the animal or human, wherein the device comprises:
a structural polymer comprising a polyolefin, a polyvinyl chloride, a polyurethane, an ethylene vinyl acetate, a polyolefin elastomer, or a synthetic rubber;
at least one bio-active ingredient embedded within the structural polymer as solid islands;
a liquid-binding material embedded within the structural polymer as granules; and
a carrier liquid absorbed within the liquid-binding material,
wherein the carrier liquid is non-compatible with the structural polymer so that at least a portion of a carrier liquid solution comprising bio-active agent dissolved in the carrier liquid released from the liquid binding material moves through the structural polymer to an outer surface of the structural polymer over a period of at least one week.
