DESC:SYSTEMS FOR PENETRATION, AND RELEASE OR WITHDRAWAL OF FLUID AND METHODS THEREOF

FIELD OF INVENTION:
The present invention generally relates to systems for penetration, and release or withdrawal of fluid and methods thereof.

The present invention more particularly relates to systems for penetration, and release or withdrawal of fluid and methods thereof with a hollow penetrating body having a parabolic, convex or blunt end.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
Systems for penetration, and release or withdrawal of fluid and methods thereof, presently available have a pointed tip as a penetrating end which may possibly damage certain surfaces through which the said system is penetrating or are not desirable or detrimental to its use. Such systems ordinarily may have only one aperture, which increases pressure on the fluid and the fluid may release with high velocity. Such release of the fluid may damage certain area on which the fluid is being released. Certain surfaces are so smooth or slippery that the penetrating body does not get a grip over the surface and tends to retract. Single aperture may also result in ineffective and concentrated release of the fluid. Moreover, it is possible that the single aperture gets blocked, which may due to a viscous fluid, which may hamper effective functioning of the penetrating system.

Typically, such systems are observed to be harmful when used in veterinary treatments when syringes are used in treatment of mammary tissues for diseases such as mastitis. Pointed tip of syringe may damage the soft udder tissue in animals which may cause pain and/or infection to the subject animal. The single aperture in the tip increase the pressure of the fluid released and may harm the soft tissues in the mammary glands. Moreover single aperture may not result in equal distribution of the fluid in the target area. Udder tissue and other tissues in the mammary glands are so soft that there is the possibility of retraction of the syringe from the tissue.

Hence, there is a requirement of systems which may reduce or overcome one or more of the above mentioned problems and drawbacks. The present invention in its various embodiments addresses the above mentioned problems and other possible drawbacks and limitations of the currently used systems and methods relating to the field of invention.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION:

a hollow penetrating body,
wherein the hollow penetrating body has a parabolic or convex end capable of penetrating through a surface, and
wherein the hollow penetrating body has two or more apertures capable of releasing or withdrawing a fluid.

EXAMPLE OF INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY OF THE INVENTION:
This system is used for penetration, and release of fluid such as a therapeutic medication into the udder via teat cistern. The teat cistern is an anatomical structure of the udder which is controlled by highly sensitive sphincter muscles. In order to deliver the therapeutic medication, the system of the invention can effectively enter into pressurized teat system and hold its position via a gripping mechanism during delivery. Further during this application there needs to be minimal discomfort to the animal. This was enabled through protruded penetrating body. As the apertures are near penetrating end, they enable to maintain proper pressure applied through a pressure providing mechanism. This does not dissipate the pressure as the force is maintained uniformly in the barrel of the hollow penetrating body.
