Abstract
A delivery tool connectable with a syringe can be used to deliver a viscoelastic solution. The tool includes a first segment, a second segment and an inner lumen defined by the first and second segments. A distal portion extends from the second segment in a curved manner.
Claims19
A delivery tool connectable to a syringe, comprising:
- a first segment extending along a first axis;
- a second segment connected to the first segment at a bend portion and extending along a second axis that is oriented at a first angle with respect to the first axis, wherein the second segment has a distal opening;
- an inner lumen extending between the first segment and the distal opening;
- and a tip portion including a surface extending from and fixed to a portion of the second segment forms the distal opening wherein opposite the second segment, the tip portion has a distal tip having a substantially bulbous shape that originates at a distal end of the surface such that the bulbous shape is separated from the distal opening by the surface, wherein the surface tapers from the distal opening to the distal tip and wherein the surface curves away from the second axis and wherein the second segment is linear and the distal opening is located in a plane perpendicular to the second axis.

A syringe assembly, comprising:
- a delivery tool comprising:
- a first segment extending along a first axis and having a hub;
- a second segment connected to the first segment at a bend portion that is opposite the hub and extending along a second axis that is oriented at a first angle with respect to the first axis, wherein the second segment has a distal opening and wherein the first segment and the second segment define an inner lumen extending from the hub to the distal opening;
- and a tip portion including a surface extending from and fixed to a portion of the second segment that forms the distal opening surface extending from the distal opening, wherein opposite the second segment, the tip portion has a distal tip having a substantially bulbous shape that originates at a distal end of the surface such that the substantially bulbous shape is separated from the distal opening by the surface;
- and wherein the surface curves away from the second axis;
- and wherein the second segment is linear and the distal opening is located in a plane perpendicular to the second axis, and a syringe connected to the hub of the delivery tool so that an axis of the syringe is aligned with the first axis, the syringe including a plunger and rod such that, upon actuation of the rod, fluid is delivered to the lumen of the delivery tool.
