Abstract
A catheter for delivering therapeutic to an injection site within the body is provided. This catheter can include a shaft having a proximal end, a distal end, and an infusion lumen extending therein; a penetrating member coupled to the shaft and extendable from the distal end of the shaft, and a stabilizer positioned towards the distal end of the shaft. The catheter could also include a delivery system, able to be calibrated to deliver therapeutic through an injection port at a rate less than the therapeutic absorption rate of the injection site.
