Abstract
An injection apparatus and related methods. The injection apparatus includes a housing with a proximate end and a distal end. The housing further defines a fluid pathway. A defeatable seal is fixedly positioned within the fluid pathway to separate an internal volume of the housing into a first compartment and a second compartment downstream from the first compartment. The defeatable seal is configured to fail in response to an increase in fluid pressure within the first compartment, allowing a fluid in the first compartment to pass through the second compartment and through the fluid outlet.
