MATERIAL DELIVERY DEVICE

摘要

Devices for introducing materials into the body include collapsible material-filled tubes with pressure members, movable along the tubes. When the pressure members are advanced toward the tube opening, the tube collapses causing material to be emitted from the tube to the desired location or surgical site in the body.

主权项

1. A system for delivering material to a surgical site, comprising:
a collapsible tube including a proximal and a distal end, the collapsible tube for being filled at least partially with material; and, a pressure member moveably mounted to the proximal end of the collapsible tube, the pressure member configured for moving distally along at least a majority of the collapsible tube, such that the distal movement of the pressure member collapses a portion of the collapsible tube and material is emitted from the distal end of the collapsible tube.
