Abstract
The present invention provides methods and devices for making a cold slurry at a point of delivery. A point of delivery device delivers cold slurry components to a location at or near a target tissue. The components are combined to form the cold slurry at or near the point of delivery. This approach to generating a cold slurry at the point of delivery allows the characteristics of the cold slurry, such as temperature, particle shape and particle size, to be maintained and controlled.
Claims19
A method of making a cold slurry at or near a target tissue underneath a subject's skin, the method comprising:
- delivering a first component to a target tissue underneath a subject's skin;
- delivering a second component to the target tissue;
- and
- forming a cold slurry at or near the target tissue from an interaction between the first component and the second component.
A device for making a cold slurry at or near a target tissue underneath a subject's skin, the device comprising:
- a first cannula for delivering a first component to a target tissue underneath a subject's skin, the first cannula comprising a first open distal end and first longitudinal axis extending from the first open distal end;
- a second cannula for delivering a second component to the target tissue, the second cannula comprising a second open distal end and a second longitudinal axis extending from the second open distal end, the second longitudinal axis aligned with the first longitudinal axis;
- wherein the first open distal end is proximate to the second open distal end for forming a cold slurry at or near the target tissue from an interaction between the first component and the second component.
