Abstract

See full text

An in-situ material delivery device for handheld, stereotactic table or MRI stage use may comprise a work element configured to selectively open and close at least one articulable beak configured to penetrate tissue to a target delivery site, or follow a central lumen of another device or other guiding modality, and then to deliver selected materials. Such a device may deliver a variety of materials such as markers, radio-active pellets, medications, other devices, and other materials of solid, liquid or gaseous form to a target site, and materials of similar nature may also be captured and removed from a target site. A single tube with or without coatings or an inner sheath and an outer sheath which may be co-axially disposed relative to a work element may be configured to actuate a beak or beaks and internal delivery mechanisms simultaneously. One embodiment of this device may be applicable to field use or one time use.
