US Patent:

8007487, Aug 30, 2011

Filed:

Dec 22, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/341962

Inventors:

Timothy Patrick - Alpharetta GA, US
Richard Knostman - Alpharetta GA, US
Carribeth Ramey - Suwanee GA, US
Michael Axelrod - Roswell GA, US

Assignee:

Carticept Medical, Inc. - Alpharetta GA

International Classification:

A61M 31/00

US Classification:

604506, 604507

Abstract:

Systems for injecting fluids and/or other materials into a targeted anatomical location, in particular, an intra-articular space, include a handpiece assembly having a proximal end and a distal end, a needle extending from the distal end of the handpiece assembly, a fluid delivery module comprising a cassette and a fluid transfer device. A conduit is generally configured to place the fluid delivery module in fluid communication with the handpiece assembly. Medications, formulations and/or other fluids or materials contained within vials that are secured to the fluid delivery module can be selectively delivered into an anatomy through a needle located at the distal end of the handpiece assembly. In some embodiments, ultrasound or other imaging technologies can be used to locate a joint or other targeted anatomical location.
