See full text

A medical apparatus used to deliver a therapeutic substance. The medical apparatus provides a catheter assembly, which includes a translating body assembly and a fixed body assembly mated together in a telescopic configuration to allow the translating body assembly to move relative to the fixed body assembly and facilitate the delivery of the therapeutic substance to a targeted area. The catheter assembly also provides a steering assembly capable of moving the distal portion of the catheter assembly between a first direction and a second direction. A guiding catheter including an anchoring device can be used to secure the catheter assembly in position at the targeted area to facilitate deployment of a needle for delivering the therapeutic substance to the targeted area.
