CA 2634696

This invention relates to an apparatus and method for infusing fluids to and aspirating tissue from an intraosseous site. The apparatus is comprised of an infusion tube coupled to an introducer with a release mechanism that removes the infusion tube once it has penetrated the bone a predetermined depth. As the introducer is withdrawn, the infusion tube remains in the bone. The ball release mechanism and other aspects of the apparatus can be modified to yield different penetration depths. The present invention also relates to a method and apparatus for locating the site of infusion and for relieving strain and stress on the infusion site. The template patch uses a key anatomical feature of the bone as a reference point to a target zone for infusion that is located a predetermined distance away from the feature. The template patch has a tube clamp and a covering that protect the infusion site from external forces.
