Abstract: A single-use cartridge accommodating a medical gas includes an elongate, generally cylindrical body having an interior chamber accommodating a compressed and sterile medical grade gas therein. The body is inwardly tapered proximate one end thereof and is joined to a reduced diameter and generally cylindrical leading end portion. The leading end portion including an opening communicably connected to the interior chamber of the cartridge body. The opening is selectively opened to allow for opening of the cartridge such that the compressed medical gas contained within the interior chamber of the cartridge is deliverable through the opening for use in a medical procedure. The cylindrical body and the end portion include a triple washed construction for holding the medical grade gas within the interior chamber of the cylindrical body under pressure.

Abstract: A system for controlled delivery of medical fluids to a patient includes an inlet conduit attached to a source of a medical fluid and an outlet conduit connected to the patient. The inlet and outlet conduits are interconnected by a multiple stage control valve assembly and a pair of syringes. The control valve assembly is alternated between a first state wherein the inlet conduit communicates with a first syringe for transmitting fluid from the source to the first syringe, a second state wherein the first syringe communicates with a second syringe and is isolated from the inlet conduit and the outlet for transmitting fluid from the first syringe to the second syringe, and a third state wherein the second syringe communicates with the outlet and is isolated from the inlet and the first syringe for transmitting fluid from the second syringe to the patient through the outlet.
