Claim:
1. An injection device, comprising: a sheath having a distal end; an injector having an outlet tube movably positioned within the sheath and including a distal portion with a penetrating tip, wherein in a first state, the tip is located a first distance relative to the distal end of the sheath, and in a second state, the tip is located a second distance relative to the distal end of the sheath; and an adjuster contacting the sheath and having a first orientation and a second orientation different than the first orientation, wherein in the first orientation the adjustor extends radially inwardly into the injector a first distance enabling movement of the tip between the first state and the second state, and in the second orientation the adjustor extends radially inwardly into the injector a second distance, different than the first distance, thereby compressing the sheath about the outlet tube and preventing movement of the tip between the first state and the second state.
