ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE: The invention is concerned with a bandage adapted for application to a mammalian body having a wound, lesion or the like, which comprises: (a) a bandage substrate adapted for application to the body; (b) a single metallic electrode, at least a part of this electrode being in direct contact with the body; and (c) collagen and/or an ionizable or polar medi- cament in electrically co-operative relationship with the electrode. The bandage is capable in use of forming a galvanic couple between the single electrode and the body when applied over the wound, lesion or the like, and producing, without use of an external power source, a local current effective for iontophoresis or for applying a small electric charge to the body. The bandage of the invention has surprisingly been found to be capable of creating a galvanic couple between the single electrode on the one hand and the body of the mammal on the other. When this bandage is applied to a mammalian body, natural body fluids or applied electrolyte activate the bandage and the desired voltaic effect is created, which causes a medicament contained in the bandage to migrate deeply within a wound or lesion.
