Abstract:
1. A device configured for fluid delivery via a patient nostril, the device comprising: an introducer and an injector; the injector including: the introducer including: wherein the lumen includes at least two longitudinal channels parallel to each other, the channels forming a depressed track along a lumen-facing body wall surface; where the longitudinal channels merge to form a single channel near the first end such that the complete channel forms a generally goalpost-shaped, U-shaped or Y-shaped configuration; and where the injector tube aperture is disposed at a first radial angle relative to the longitudinal axis when the channel-engaging projection is in one of the at least two longitudinal channels, and is disposed at a second radial angle relative to the longitudinal axis when the channel-engaging projection is in another of the at least two longitudinal channels, where the first and second radial angles correspond the angle required for a spray path access to a patient's sphenopalatine ganglion region from, respectively, that patient's right and left nostrils, and where the injector tube, projection, and channels are longitudinally dimensioned to extend and orient the aperture toward that region.
