Abstract: An injector is disclosed for treating esophageal varices and other disorders with injected medications. The injector includes a needle which has a tubular bore for injecting the medication into the varices. The needle has an exposed length which is sufficiently long to enter a vein wall but not sufficiently long to pass through the vein and esophagus walls. A tubular connector has an internal bore connected with the needle and has a flange for inhibiting the connector from following the needle through a puncture. The tubular connector has a shank portion which is connected with a flexible tube. The flexible tube, tubular connector, and needle are slidingly receivable in a biopsy channel of a flexible, fiberoptic endoscope. A syringe is connected to the other end of the flexible tube for selectively forcing medications through the tube, connector, and needle into the varices.
