Force Amplifying Syringe
One-Handed Operation. Amplified Injection Force. Direct Inline Control.
Patented Technology for Injection of High-Viscosity Medical Materials
GENKL's patented Force Amplifier is an innovative, compact, inline mechanical device designed to reduce the manual force required to inject high-viscosity materials using conventional syringes.
Unlike traditional palm-operated or pistol-grip force amplifiers, GENKL's technology maintains a natural, one-handed syringe-like grip and direct axial alignment, potentially providing physicians with more intuitive control over syringe positioning and material delivery.
Key Advantages
· One-Handed Operation: Familiar thumb-and-finger actuation for convenient syringe handling.
· Direct Inline Control: Maintains axial alignment between the applied force and syringe plunger, potentially improving positioning and injection control compared with offset-handle devices.
· Amplified Injection Force: Theoretical mechanical advantage of approximately 5:1, potentially reducing the manual effort required to inject high-viscosity materials.
· Compact, Ergonomic Design: Avoids bulky pistol-grip handles while preserving a natural syringe-like configuration.
· Syringe Compatibility: Adaptable to a wide range of commercially available syringes through appropriate mechanical interfaces.
· Controlled Material Delivery: Incremental plunger advancement through repeated thumb actuation.
· Flexible concept: Can be Reusable or Disposable device.
Potential Medical Applications
· Orthopedic Surgery: Injection of high-viscosity bone cement.
· Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty: Controlled delivery of bone cement for vertebral augmentation.
· Surgical Adhesives: Dispensing of high-viscosity medical adhesives and sealants.
· Specialized Medical Procedures: Injection of other high-viscosity materials requiring elevated dispensing forces.
