Abstract
The present invention provides systems, methods and devices for delivering media. The device can include a body designed to accommodate at least one cannister of a media, an body coupled to the body and having a distal end, and a tapered tip disposed at the distal end of the body and in fluid communication with the cannister, the tip being designed for advancing the distal end to a site of interest and through which media from the cannister can be directed to the site of interest. The device can also include a dispersion mechanism coupled to the body for controlled release of the media out the tapered tip.
Claims17
A surgical device, the device comprising:
- a body designed to accommodate at least one cannister of a media, the body and having a distal end;
- a tapered tip disposed at the distal end of the body and in fluid communication with the cannister, the tip being designed for advancing the distal end to a site of interest and through which media from the cannister can be directed to the site of interest;
- and
- a dispersion mechanism coupled to the body for controlled release of the media out the tapered tip.
A method for delivering media comprising:
- providing a surgical device having a tapered tip at a distal end of the device, at least one canister of media in fluid communication with the tapered tip, and a dispersion mechanism for controlled release of the media through the surgical device and out of the tapered tip;
- directing the tapered tip to a site of interest;
- and
- delivering the media from cannister out the tapered tip to the site of interest in a controlled manner.
The method of claim 16, wherein the step of placing further comprises adhering, by an adhesive disposed over at least a portion of a surface of the sealing device the incision site.
