1. A system for delivering a slurry to a patient, comprising:

  • a fluid;

    a material that is non-dissolvable or immiscible in the fluid, thereby forming a slurry;

    a container adapted to contain the slurry and a supernate of the slurry, the container defining an outlet through which the slurry is delivered to the patient;

    a fluidizing system associated with the container and adapted to effect dilation of the slurry while maintaining at least a portion of the supernate;

    a pressurizing mechanism adapted to create a pressure to cause the slurry contained within the container to flow for delivery to the patient; and

    a control unit in communication with and adapted to control the fluidizing system and the pressurizing mechanism.
