Abstract:
1. A syringe comprising: a barrel; a plunger having a nozzle end for insertion into a first end of said barrel and an actuator end to extend out of the barrel, wherein the plunger is configured to facilitate delivering an oxidizing gas from a second end of said barrel; a corona-discharge device within said barrel for producing said oxidizing gas, wherein said corona-discharge device comprises a housing mounted to the plunger, between the nozzle end and the actuator end of the plunger, wherein the housing is configured to expel said oxidizing gas exclusively through the nozzle end of the plunger into a space formed within the barrel, between the nozzle end of the plunger and the second end of the barrel, and to prevent the oxidizing gas from occupying a space within the plunger between the housing and the actuator end of the plunger; an accumulator chamber defined within said barrel holding oxygen and having an accumulation configuration in communication with said generator for producing said oxidizing gas from said oxygen when said accumulator chamber is in said accumulation configuration; and said accumulator chamber having a delivery configuration for expressing said oxidizing gas from said second end when a desired level of oxidizing gas has been generated in said accumulator chamber.
