Abstract

A medical fluid suspension generating apparatus includes a Venturi-agitating tip assembly, a source of pressurized chemical solution, a source of a medical solution, and a dual lumen catheter connecting the Venturi-agitating tip assembly to the source of pressurized chemical solution and the source of the medical solution.

Claims (14)

1. A medical fluid suspension generating apparatus, comprising:

a Venturi-agitating tip assembly including a proximal first end, a distal second end, and a central portion between the proximal first end and the distal second end, the Venturi-agitating tip assembly also includes a first channel, a second channel, a mixing chamber located in a central portion of the Venturi-agitating tip assembly, and spray tip at the distal second end of the Venturi-agitating tip assembly, the first channel and the second channel being interconnected in a manner creating a Venturi effect causing the pressurized chemical solution to effectively pull a medical solution through the second channel and into the mixing chamber, the spray tip having outlets oriented at an angle of 25 degrees to 65 degrees relative to a longitudinal axis of the Venturi-agitating tip assembly such that an enriched medical suspension is sprayed at an angle of 25 degrees to 65 degrees relative to a longitudinal axis of the Venturi-agitating tip assembly;

a source of pressurized chemical solution connected to the first channel;

a source of a medical solution connected to the second channel;

a dual lumen catheter connecting the Venturi-agitating tip assembly to the source of pressurized chemical solution and the source of the medical solution.

2. The delivery catheter according to claim 1 , wherein the source of pressurized chemical solution includes a compressed medical fluid unit.

3. The delivery catheter according to claim 2 , wherein the source of the medical solution includes a syringe.

4. The delivery catheter according to claim 3 , wherein a micro-hose connects the source of pressurized chemical solution to a first lumen of the dual lumen catheter.

5. The delivery catheter according to claim 4 , wherein the source of the medical solution is connected to the second lumen of the dual lumen catheter.

6. The delivery catheter according to claim 3 , wherein the syringe includes a one-way valve.

7. The delivery catheter according to claim 1 , wherein the source of the medical solution includes a syringe.

8. The delivery catheter according to claim 7 , wherein the syringe includes a one-way valve at its outlet.

9. The delivery catheter according to claim 1 , wherein a micro-hose connects the source of pressurized chemical solution to a first lumen of the dual lumen catheter.

10. The delivery catheter according to claim 9 , wherein the source of the medical solution is connected to the second lumen.
