Abstract
A remotely-activated injection device for use in vertebroplasty is provided to inject a fluorescent probe material into a patient. The injection device includes a pump defining an injection chamber having an exit opening; an actuator; and a cable having a first end coupled to the actuator, and a second end remotely engaging the pump. The actuator remotely controls the pump by responsive movement of the cable to thereby cause injection of a fluorescent probe material from the injection chamber of the pump through the exit opening to the patient.
