Abstract

An embodiment of the claimed invention is a therapeutic delivery device having a plurality of fenestrations located around the circumference of its distal portion and an opening at the tip. The opening at the tip and the plurality of fenestrations reduce the injection resistance, making it easy to use, and ensure an even distribution of the injected material at the recipient location.
