The device comprises a housing having a first active surface and a second active surface with the housing being sized and shaped for being received within the body. The first active surface and the second active surface are contactable with the tissue and bodily fluids. A metal antimicrobial substance is attached to at least a portion of the first active surface and the second active surface. A control system is electrically connected to the first active surface and the second active surface of the housing for creating an electric field between the first active surface and the second active surface through the body with the electric field ionizing the antimicrobial substance thereby profusing the substance into the tissue.
