Abstract:
1. An infusion system which comprises: an elongated catheter formed with a central lumen extending between a proximal end and a distal end; a source of a fluid medium having particles suspended therein, wherein the source is connected in fluid communication with the proximal end of the catheter; a separator having a proximal end and a distal end formed with a plurality of parallel lumens extending therebetween with each lumen in fluid communication with the central lumen to receive particles from the central lumen, and wherein the separator is positioned in the lumen of the catheter at a distance “d” from the distal end of the catheter to establish a recollection chamber at the distal end of the catheter, and to individually place each lumen of the separator in fluid communication with the central lumen, and wherein each individual lumen is dimensioned to sequentially receive particles therethrough; and an infusion device for moving the fluid medium with suspended particles through the central lumen of the catheter, for further movement of the particles in a separated alignment through the individual lumens of the separator for reconstitution of the fluid medium with separated particles in the recollection chamber.
