The implemented instrument is used on five patients for TUR-BT operations. This equipment can be programmable between 0 and 15 mA current by 1 mA steps and with in time 0 - 59 min. Also, frequency value of applying currents can be changed in 1 - 3 KHz frequency range. The use of iontophoresis in urology is relatively new.
