USPTO Abstract

This disclosure includes syringes, kits containing the same, and related methods. Some syringes are pre-loaded with paste and have a syringe body defining a reservoir having an internal first transverse dimension, a paste disposed within the reservoir, the paste having a solids concentration of greater than 50 mg/mL, a needle defining a lumen having an internal second transverse dimension that is smaller than the first transverse dimension, the needle configured to be in fluid communication with the reservoir to allow intracutaneous delivery of the paste, and a plunger and/or piston disposed within the reservoir and configured to be moved to dispense paste from the reservoir through the lumen. Some syringes include a fitting (e.g. Luer fitting) disposed on the syringe body and in fluid communication with the reservoir and a sealing cap disposed on the Luer fitting to seal the reservoir.
