  • Publication number: 20240108501
    Abstract: Provided for herein is a method of cell transplantation using an injection attachment having a hub containing a plurality of cells and a cannula extending from a distal end of the hub. The method includes orienting the injection attachment such that the cannula points downwardly until the plurality of cells settle together proximate the distal end, inserting the cannula into a tissue of a subject, and injecting the volume of cells into the tissue of the subject using the injection attachment.
