Claim 16:
17. A system configured to deliver an agent to a target tissue through a channel of a medical device, the system comprising:
the medical device comprising an endoscope that includes a handle, the channel, and a port at an end of the channel; and
a delivery device comprising:
a body including (a) a coupling region configured to removably attach to the handle; and (b) a coupler including an exit port for aligning with the port, wherein the coupler is configured to mate with the port;
an input port disposed within the body;
a source of the agent disposed within the body, the source of the agent is defined by a funnel portion and a cylindrical portion positioned upstream from the funnel portion, the cylindrical portion is configured to feed the agent to the funnel portion via gravity, and the funnel portion is configured to direct the agent out of the cylindrical portion;
a source of pressurized fluid disposed within the body and in fluid communication with the agent stored in the cylindrical portion via the funnel portion, wherein the body, the source of agent, and the source of pressurized fluid are arranged to mix the agent and a pressurized fluid within the source of the agent, and deliver the mixture of the agent and the pressurized fluid to the exit port and the channel for delivery to the target tissue; and
an actuator including a trigger, the actuator configured to selectively release the pressurized fluid from the source of the pressurized fluid into the cylindrical portion through the funnel portion, in response to the input port piercing the source of pressurized fluid to release the pressurized fluid towards the source of the agent, upon actuation of pulling the actuator, the input port including a movable pin.
