Abstract:
1. A system for delivering a therapeutic agent to a patient, comprising: a flexible catheter configured to follow a non-linear path through the patient, the catheter having a proximal end and a distal end and comprising a body defining a lumen extending from the proximal end to the distal end of the catheter; a container for housing the therapeutic agent, the container being insertable and slidably disposable in the lumen of the catheter; a first bar slidably disposable in the lumen, wherein sliding the first bar distally in the lumen forces the therapeutic agent out of the container and out of the lumen when the container is in proximity to the distal end of the catheter; and a filter disposed across the entire width of the catheter lumen in proximity to the distal end of the catheter body, the filter being configured to allow the therapeutic agent to exit the lumen and to prevent unintended particulate matter from exiting the lumen.
