  • Cryotherapeutic delivery device
    Patent number: 11964137
    Abstract: A device for aseptic delivery of biological material from a vial includes a tubular barrel, a filter assembly, and a dispersion assembly. The dispersion assembly is at least partially disposed within the tubular barrel. The dispersion assembly includes a dispersion element, a piston, and a one-way valve. The dispersion element is in fluid communication with the vial to disperse the biological material from the vial. The piston is disposed at the distal end of the dispersion assembly and is in sealing contact with the tubular barrel. The one-way valve forms a fluid passageway in fluid communication with the dispersion element and the tubular barrel. The one-way valve is configured to allow a flow of the dispersed biological material from the dispersion element, through the fluid passageway, and into the tubular barrel, and to prevent a flow of the dispersed biological material from the tubular barrel into the dispersion assembly.
