Abstract
Systems for treating a targeted volume of muscle tissue to inhibit heterotopic ossification (HO) employ a delivery device including a reservoir containing a neuromuscular inhibitor and an injector assembly. The injector assembly can include an arrangement of needles and an injector operable to pass the neuromuscular inhibitor from the reservoir through the needles. The injector assembly can be configured to eject predetermined aliquots of a therapeutic dose of the neuromuscular inhibitor. The injector assembly can be shaped to compliment the targeted volume of muscle tissue within a larger volume of muscle tissue. The ejection of the predetermined aliquots can result in a therapeutic distribution of the therapeutic dose of the neuromuscular inhibitor within the targeted volume of muscle tissue that is sufficient to prevent formation of an HO lesion but insufficient to induce paralysis of the larger volume of muscle tissue.
