Benefits of technology
Enables precise and effective administration of intra-articular injections with reduced complexity and cost, minimizing the risk of cross-contamination and mechanical failures, and improving sealing efficiency.
Problems solved by technology
Administering Intra-articular injections, however, is a complicated procedure, which requires precise positioning.
A substantial portion of intra-articular injections are not effectively administered because of the complex human anatomy and precise positioning required to inject the therapeutic into the joint space.
This often results in physicians and professionals using expensive, time-consuming, and complex medical imaging tools to properly administer intra-articular injection in the three-dimensional structure of a patient's joint space.
Even using medical imaging tools, the physician may miss the precise location, thus failing to deliver effective treatment.

Embodiment Construction
[0027]In the following description, certain specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of various disclosed implementations. However, one skilled in the relevant art will recognize that implementations may be practiced without one or more of these specific details, or with other methods, components, materials, etc. In other instances, well-known structures associated with syringes and related syringe assemblies have not been shown or described in detail to avoid unnecessarily obscuring descriptions of the implementations.
[0028]Unless the context requires otherwise, throughout the specification and claims which follow, the word “comprise” and variations thereof, such as “comprises” and “comprising,” are to be construed in an open, inclusive sense that is as “including, but not limited to.”
[0029]Reference throughout this specification to “one implementation” or “an implementation” means that a particular feature, structure or characteristic described i...

A syringe is provided having a hub with an orifice, first and second barrels having interior surfaces to form respective lumens, a slider, and an optional test indicator. The first and second barrels slideably receive respective first and second plungers for movement therein. The slider is operable to provide a fluidly communicative path between the orifice of the hub and the first and second barrel lumens. The optional test indicator is responsive to at least one characteristic of bodily fluid, the test indicator positioned to be exposed to any bodily fluid drawn into the first barrel lumen and visible from an exterior of the first barrel.
Description
BACKGROUNDTechnical Field[0001]The present disclosure generally relates to syringes.Description of the Related Art[0002]Patients suffering from acute or chronic pain in their joints typically receive injections in the joint space for relief and therapeutic purposes. These injections are commonly known as intra-articular injections. Intra-articular injections are typically administered by orthopedic surgeons, rheumatologists, and other physicians and health care professionals.[0003]Intra-articular injections typically include therapeutics that assist in pain relief or treatment by administration thereof into the affected areas. In some instances, intra-articular injection therapeutics may be in the form of steroids.[0004]Such steroids may have anti-inflammatory properties that can decrease inflammation of the affected joint; provide relief to patients with non-inflammatory arthritis, such as osteoarthritis; or protect joint cartilage. In other instances, the intra-articular injection...
