Claims13
A method for administering a medicament to a patient comprising the steps of:
- locating a site for injection;
- inserting at least a portion of a neural injection system comprising an at least partially hollow cannula being defined by a first inside diameter, a first outside diameter, and a first length, and a side port located coaxially along the cannula for fluid communication from inside said at least partially hollow cannula to outside said at least partially hollow cannula, wherein said cannula has a rounded open blunt distal end;
- a stylet, wherein the stylet is capable of being releasably locked in a first position within said cannula;
- and, an introducer being defined by a second inside diameter, a second outside diameter, and a second length, wherein the introducer is used for access across a tissue of a patient that cannot be punctured by the rounded open blunt distal end during a normal insertion procedure;
- and
- injecting the medicament into the patient.
