Syringe carpule for storing, transporting and in situ mixing of lidocaine and sodium bicarbonate and delivery of buffered anesthetic solution

A syringe carpule for storing, transporting, in situ mixing and delivery of buffered anesthetic solution, comprising:

• A hollow tubular body configured to be received within the frame of a carpule syringe;
• At least one axially movable plunger within the tubular body and configured to be engaged and moved by a rod of the carpule syringe;
• A seal configured to be pierced by a rear portion of a needle coupled to the carpule syringe;
• A first chamber defined within the hollow tubular body filled with one of an anesthetic solution or a buffering solution during storing and transport;
• A second chamber defined within the hollow tubular body filled with the other of an anesthetic solution or a buffering solution during storing and transport, wherein the hollow tubular body includes a second chamber body and a recess receiving the second chamber body therein, wherein the second chamber body forms the second chamber;
• and
• A breachable separating member between the first chamber and the second chamber, wherein the separating member is configured to be breached for in situ mixing of the buffering solution and the anesthetic solution to allow for delivery of a buffered anesthetic solution, wherein the plunger seals against the second chamber body in transport and storage, and wherein an interior of the second chamber body is the same shape and diameter as the inside of the first chamber wherein the plunger is configured to travel along portions of both the first and second chamber and wherein the plunger maintains a similar sealing engagement along its travel.
