Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for continuous injection of fluid, in some examples the apparatuses may include a manifold, a pair of reciprocating pistons, and an actuation control that may apply both suction (aspiration) and injection of fluid as part of the same actuation. The apparatuses and methods may be configured to simplify operation of a continuous fluid injection apparatus, including operations that include an aspiration an injection of fluid to confirm the absence/presence of blood prior to injection.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for delivering a fluid, including a viscous fluid. These apparatuses may include a fluid reservoir, two or more piston chambers, a manifold, a delivery port, and a drive assembly and may be configured to inject either a predetermined amount of fluid or a continuous stream of fluid. These apparatuses may also be configured to switch between filling, injection and aspiration modes. These apparatuses may generally be hand-held and lightweight and may provide a significant mechanical advantage to the user.
