To provide a transvenous soaker catheter and its using method, wherein a substance (for example, a fluid medicament) of adjustable concentration is selectively sent into extracellular fluid at a specific position in a target organ.
A system and method for infusing a fluid medicament requires an indwelling catheter having an infusion member attached to its distal end. A source of the fluid medicament is connected in fluid communication with the catheter's proximal end. In use, the catheter is positioned in the venous system of a patient with the infusion member embedded and stabilized in a volume of tissue. A pump is then activated to infuse fluid medicament from the source into extracellular fluid in the volume of tissue, at a predetermined fluid flow rate and for a predetermined time duration.
