Claim Text:
1. An injection system for delivering at least one fluid to a treatment site, wherein the system is pressurized and is adjustable to compensate for differences in fluid viscosity between a first fluid and a second fluid that are sequentially dispersed through a needleless injection device, and wherein the injection system comprises: a console comprising control components for the injection system; an injection chamber operatively connected to the console and comprising at least a first speed sensor, wherein the first speed sensor is configured for measuring a speed of the first fluid and a speed of the second fluid, wherein the speed of the first fluid and the speed of the second fluid measured by the first speed sensor are correlatable by the console to a first viscosity of the first fluid and a second viscosity of the second fluid, respectively; and the needleless injection device in operative communication with the injection chamber, wherein the needleless injection device comprises at least one injection orifice at a distal end of a common injection shaft for delivering both of the first and second fluids at a pressure, velocity, and stream size that corresponds to their respective first and second viscosities for passing through a tissue surface, penetrating into tissue below the tissue surface, and dispersing fluid particles within the tissue; wherein pressure generated in the injection chamber is controllable by the console for fluid administration of both the first and second fluids from the injection orifice at the distal end of the injection shaft at an injection speed that corresponds to their first and second viscosities, respectively, as determined by the console.
