Patent ID: 8343147

Claim:
An electrically powered device for treatment of a subject's skin comprising layers of stacked electrodes, comprising: at least two positive electrodes; at least two negative electrodes, each of which extends beyond said positive electrodes such that a space between said negative electrodes is formed; said space is characterized by the accumulation of the electrolytic product formed by providing electrical power to said reactant; at least one conduit and a first reservoir for holding a fluid; said fluid comprising a reactant; at least a portion of said reactant being electrolysable; said conduit is characterized by having at least one opening; each of said conduits are being positioned intermediate one of said negative electrode and one of said positive electrode, said conduits being formed of a material that completes a circuit between said negative electrodes and said positive electrodes when said conduits are in communication with said reactant; at least one adhesive layer positioned in between each two electrodes; wherein said at least one opening in said conduit is characterized by having diameters not greater than 100 micrometers so as to increase the electrical resistance through the electrolyte so as to provide the direct electrical path between the electrodes with the lowest electrical resistance.
