The gas generator (88) is activated and the therapeutic agent is accumulated within the barrel (32). The agent is delivered from the barrel (32) into a target site via a needle (24), thereby delivering therapeutic effects to that target site when the accumulator (108) reaches a predetermined amount. Preferably, the therapeutic agent is an oxygen-ozone mixture gas. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
