ABSTRACT:
An injection catheter is provided. The injection catheter comprises a catheter body comprising a flexible tubing having proximal and distal ends and at least one lumen therethrough. A needle control handle is provided at the proximal end of the catheter body. The needle control handle comprises an outer body having a piston chamber therein, a piston slidably mounted within the piston chamber; and a compression spring in the piston chamber between the outer body and the piston. An injection needle extends through the catheter body and at least a portion of the needle control handle. The injection needle has a proximal end attached to one of the outer body and the piston and a distal end within the catheter body. Longitudinal movement of one of the outer body and the piston relative to the other of the outer body and the piston compresses the compression spring and moves the injection needle distally relative to the catheter body so that the distal end of the injection needle extends outside the distal end of the catheter body.
