Zusammenfassung:The present embodiments provide systems suitable for delivering a therapeutic agent to a target site. In some embodiments, the system comprises a container for holding the therapeutic agent, a pressure source, and a catheter in fluid communication with the container. In one embodiment, the system further comprises a first inlet tube disposed at least partially within the container, and a second inlet tube disposed at least partially within the container at a location different than the first inlet tube. Pressurized fluid from the pressure source flows into the container via each of the first inlet tube and the second inlet tube. In other embodiments, a plate is disposed with the container, wherein the plate is able to move vertically within the container during delivery of the therapeutic agent.
