Patent ID: 8321009

Claim:
An apparatus for providing electrolytic tissue treatment, comprising: a) a reactant, at least a portion of said reactant being electrolysable; b) a pad including said reactant, said pad having a lower pad surface; c) a first electrically insulating layer having an upper insulation surface substantially in contact with said lower pad surface and a first opening passing through said first electrically insulating layer; d) a first terminal and a second terminal, configured for connecting to a direct current power source; e) at least two electrodes substantially contacting said pad and spaced a distance from each other, such that a first electrode connected to said first terminal contacts said pad substantially proximate to said first opening and a second electrode connected to said second terminal contacts said pad substantially distant from said first opening; said first insulating layer includes a lower surface substantially in contact with a first base layer, said first base layer having a first opening substantially aligned with said insulation layer first opening; wherein said apparatus further comprising: a second electrically insulating layer, where said at least two electrodes and said pad are contained between said first electrically insulating layer and said second electrically insulating layer; and a second base layer substantially covering said second insulating layer.
