Abstract

Claims (23)

1. A device for depositing a material within a tissue, the device comprising:

a housing comprising a housing proximal end, a housing sheath, and a housing distal end; and,

a tissue introducer positioned within the housing sheath, the tissue introducer comprising:

a tissue introducer proximal end,

a tissue introducer distal end comprising one or more ports located on the side wall of the tissue introducer, and,

a longitudinal lumen comprising a distal end comprising the one or more ports.

2. The device of claim 1 wherein when the tissue introducer proximal end comprises an articulatable hub.

3. The device of claim 1 wherein the longitudinal lumen extends from the tissue introducer proximal end to the closed distal tip.

4. The device of claim 3 wherein the closed distal tip is configured to pierce tissue.

5. The device of claim 3 wherein the one or more ports are located on the longitudinal lumen.

6. The device of claim 5 wherein the one or more ports comprises at least two ports or at least three ports.

7. The device of claim 1 wherein the articulatable hub comprises a luer lock attachment configured to receive a syringe.

8. The device of claim 1 wherein the one or more ports are configured to allow sealant to flow from the inside of the tissue introducer to an external environment.

9. The device of claim 1 wherein when the tissue introducer is positioned within the housing sheath and the housing sheath completely encircles the tissue introducer.

10. The device of claim 2 wherein the closed distal tip comprises a (i) single bevel tip (ii) multi-bevel tip.

11. The device of claim 1 wherein the material is a sealant.

12. A device for depositing a material within a tissue, the device comprising a tissue introducer, wherein:

the tissue introducer comprises a tissue introducer proximal end, a longitudinal lumen, one or more ports, and a closed distal tip;

the tissue introducer proximal end comprises an articulatable hub in which the articulatable hub comprises a luer lock connection configured to receive a syringe;

the longitudinal lumen extends from the tissue introducer proximal end to the closed distal tip;

the one or more ports are located distal to the tissue introducer proximal end and the one more ports comprise at least two ports located on the longitudinal lumen; and,

the one or more ports are configured to allow a sealant material to flow from inside the tissue introducer lumen to the outside environment.

13. The device of claim 11 wherein the material is a sealant.
