Abstract
A limiter for a dispensing device is provided. The limiter includes a body (20) arranged to mount with at least a portion of a dispensing device (300), and a stop extending from the body. The stop (40) is configured to permit movement a plunger of the dispensing device a predetermined distance in a dispensing direction correlated to a desired volume of medium to be delivered from the dispensing device. The stop is configured to prevent further movement of the plunger in the dispensing direction, thereby limiting the amount of medium delivered from the dispensing device. The dispensing device may be a syringe.
Claims23
A limiter for a dispensing device, the limiter comprising:
- a body constructed and arranged to mount with at least a portion of a barrel of a dispensing device;
- and
- a stop extending from the body, the stop being configured to permit movement of a plunger of the dispensing device a predetermined distance in a dispensing direction correlated to a desired volume of medium to be delivered from the dispensing device, wherein the stop is configured to prevent further movement of the plunger in the dispensing direction, thereby limiting the amount of medium delivered from the dispensing device.
A method of limiting the dispensing of liquid from a dispensing device, comprising:
- mounting a dispensing device with a limiter such that at least a portion of the dispensing device is mounted with a body of the limiter, wherein a stop extends from the body;
- moving a plunger of the dispensing device a predetermined distance in a dispensing direction correlated to a desired volume of medium to be dispensed, to dispense the medium until the plunger contacts the stop that is configured to prevent further movement of the plunger in the dispensing direction, thereby limiting the amount of medium delivered from the dispensing device.
