Abstract
A system for serially injecting liquids includes a syringe body defining a syringe proximal opening and a distal needle interface, proximal and distal stopper members, forming proximal and distal chambers. The system also includes a first liquid in the distal chamber and a second liquid in the proximal chamber, and a plunger configured to be manually manipulated to insert the proximal stopper member distally. Moreover, the system includes a needle hub assembly coupled to the syringe body, the needle assembly including a needle. The needle defines a needle interior, and distal, middle and proximal openings. The distal, middle and proximal openings are fluidly coupled through the needle interior. Manipulating the plunger member to insert the proximal stopper member initially expels the first liquid from the distal chamber, then serially expels the second liquid from the proximal chamber.
