Surgical system for delivery of viscous fluids
First Claim
1. A surgical system for delivery of viscous fluid, comprising a housing having a handle portion and a coupling portion extending generally transverse to the handle portion, a reservoir member for engaging with the housing, the reservoir member being adapted to receive a viscous fluid prior to engagement with the housing, and a plunger member adapted to be inserted into the coupling portion and translated through the reservoir member via engagement of the plunger member with the coupling portion.

28. A surgical system for delivery of viscous fluid, comprising:
-
a housing having a coupling portion and a handle portion extending obliquely from the coupling portion;
a reservoir member having a threaded portion to engage with a threaded annular flange defined at a first end of the housing, the reservoir member being adapted to store viscous material therein;
a plunger member insertable into a second end of the housing opposing the first end of the housing, the plunger member having a threaded member to engage a threaded annular surface of the coupling portion; and
a plunger head disposed on an end of the plunger member, the plunger head being adapted to drive and eject viscous fluid from the reservoir member via actuation of the plunger member. - View Dependent Claims (29)

30. A surgical method for delivering viscous fluid to an implant site, comprising:
-
providing a modular delivery system, the delivery system having a housing, a plunger member engageable with a first end of the housing, and a reservoir member engageable with a second end of the housing;
loading viscous fluid into the reservoir member;
engaging the reservoir member with the housing;
engaging the plunger member with the housing; and
actuating the plunger member through the housing and into the reservoir member to eject viscous fluid from the reservoir member. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33)
