Soft tissue conduit device

摘要

A method of conducting biological materials to soft tissue. The method includes loading a conduit device onto a delivery shaft of an inserter, inserting at least a portion of the delivery shaft into soft tissue, expelling the conduit device from the delivery shaft into the tissue, and delivering biological material through an access port of the inserter into at least one outer longitudinal channel of the conduit device.

1. A method of conducting biological material to soft tissue, the method comprising:
loading a conduit device having an outer surface onto a delivery shaft of an inserter; inserting at least a portion of the delivery shaft into soft tissue; expelling the conduit device from the delivery shaft into the tissue; connecting a delivery device to an access port of the inserter and to the delivery shaft of the inserter, the access port of the inserter positioned between the delivery shaft and a handle of the inserter; and delivering biological material from the delivery device through the access port of the inserter along the delivery shaft of the inserter and directly into and along at least one outer channel of the conduit device that is at least partially open to the outer surface of the conduit device while the inserter is coupled to soft tissue and the conduit device is implanted in the tissue.
