D21 Approves 16-17 Budget
The North Wasco County School District 21 board approved a budget for 2016-17 on Thursday night. Superintendent Candy Armstrong says the fiscal plan essentially maintains the status quo from this year. She notes the 2017-18 budget may prove to be more challenging, depending on what happens in the upcoming session of the Oregon Legislature. Armstrong said the only change made prior to the budget going to the board was to shift some money set aside for college credit tuition to have part of it go to the Wahtonka Community School rather than all of it to The Dalles High School.
ODOT Asks For Suspension Of Unit Oil Trains
The Oregon Department of Transportation is asking federal authorities to suspend unit oil trains from going through the Gorge and the state until more is known about the cause of the derailment in Mosier two weeks ago. Officials made public a letter from ODOT Rail and Public Transit Division Administrator Hal Gard to Federal Rail Administration Regional Administrator Mark Daniels asking for the moratorium during a Hood River meeting on Thursday. The letter expresses concern with lag bolts, a type of fastener used on curved sections of track to attach the rail to the rail tie, and requests that oil train traffic not resume until a means of detecting defects with those bolts is developed. Union Pacific has indicated a failure of the bolts cause the June 3 derailment.
Applications For Low Income Housing Repairs Available In Washington
Columbia Cascade Housing is accepting applications from Skamania and Klickitat counties for the Washington Home Rehabilitation Program. The program will provide no interest, deferred payment loans up to $20,000 for low to moderate income homeowners to make needed health and safety repairs to their homes using local contractors through a grant with Community Block Grant funds. The loan, with a lien placed against the property, is paid back when the house is sold, the title changes hands, when the house ceases to be the owner's primary home, or 30 years from date of the loan. David Peters of the Mid-Columbia Housing Resource Center encourages anyone who thinks they might be eligible to apply. For an application or more information, contact Peters at 541-296-3397 or 1-800-800-3397.
Klickitat PUD Plans Outages Over The Weekend
Klickitat PUD has a couple of planned power outages this weekend. One will start at 11 p.m. Friday and run until 3 a.m. Saturday, and will affect all customers in the town of Wishram, Wishram Heights, and on Highway 14 between milepost 87 and 100, including the Avery area. It will also affect part of Maryhill from the Biggs Bridge to 71 Maryhill Highway, including the State Park area. The other will take place Saturday morning from 3:30 a.m. to 8 a.m., and affects all customers in the town of Klickitat and parts of western Goldendale. Klickitat PUD will be performing maintenance on the power lines that serve those locations.
HR County Planning Commission Denies DeeTour Hotel Appeal
By a 5-2 vote, the Hood River County Planning Commission voted to uphold an appeal by the Hood River Valley Residents Committee and deny an application for a 50 room hotel on a portion of the old Dee Mill site. Landowner Jason Taylor of Apollo Land Holdings was seeking a commercial land use permit for the hotel along the south side of Lost Lake Road southwest of its intersection with Dee Highway as part of project that includes an amphitheater. The amphitheater was not a part of this application. County Planner Eric Walker said the planning commission found when the County originally adopted its comprehensive plan in 1984 it had to make exceptions for existing uses in forest and farm lands like the area where the old Dee Mill was located, but while an exception was granted for the industrial use it wouldn't extend to commercial uses. Planning Director John Roberts expects it will take a couple of weeks for the planning commission order to be finalized, and then a 15-day window to appeal to the Hood River County Commission will begin.
TD Council And Wasco County Commission Approve Google Project List
Wasco County Commissioners and The Dalles City Council approved a list of eleven projects to split $250,000 from the initial payment from Google as part of the enterprise zone agreement for its data center that is just beginning construction. County Commissioner Rod Runyon says they were targeting projects that could be done quickly. The largest award was $50,000 to the Mid-Columbia Senior Center for installation of an elevator between the facility's main floor and basement. Northern Wasco County Parks and Recreation, Wasco County 4-H and Extension, Fort Dalles Museum, the cities of Dufur and Mosier, The Dalles Main Street, Wasco County Soil and Water Conservation, and The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce all received funds.
Gamez Appointed To CGCC Board
The Columbia Gorge Community College Board of Education has filled a vacancy on the panel. Long-time The Dalles resident Carmelo Gamez was appointed to fill position one, which represents Wasco County. The seat became vacant when M.D. Van Valkenburgh stepped aside from the post. Gamez will fill the seat for the remainder of the term, ending June 30, 2017. That position will be on the special district elections ballot next spring.
Next Door Holds 45th Anniversary Fundraising Campaign
The Next Door, which runs over two dozen programs to support and empower people in the Mid-Columbia region, is conducting a fundraising campaign to mark the organization's 45th anniversary. The Next Door is working to raise $45,000 in 45 days, with longtime supporters Phil and Judy Jensen offering to match the first 15-thousand dollars raised. The Next Door began in 1971 with a group home in Hood River that eventually became the Klahre House day-treatment center and year-round alternative high school. The organization will host the Hood River Chamber of Commerce Coffee Clatter at 8 a.m. on July 15. Executive Director Janet Hamada says they want to reconnect and celebrate with former staff, teachers, students and program participants, community partners, donors and anyone else who wants to mark the Next Door's anniversary.
Cherries Look Good, But Monday Rain Brings Damage
In spite of varying weather conditions during harvest time, the outlook for Columbia Gorge cherries remains good, but rain in Mosier and the Hood River Valley on Monday night has caused some damage. Oregon State University Extension Agent Lynn Long says how much damage orchards in those locations suffered is still being determined. With hot weather ten days ago and cooler temperatures the past few days, Long says harvest times for Bing cherries around the region are a bit compressed. Long pointed out the cooler temperatures of the past five or six days has slowed ripening. He also noted the harvest should allow growers to get cherries to market in the important July 4th window.
TD Council Sends Marijuana Proposals Back To Planning Commission
The Dalles City Council has sent back to the Planning Commission the recommendations that panel had developed for time, place, and manner regulations for the processing, production, retailing, and wholesaling of marijuana. Mayor Steve Lawrence says one of the issues was a recommendation to extend the buffer to 1,000 feet around churches, pre-schools, and schools. The Council has asked for maps with 500 and 750 foot buffers. The Council is also seeking more definition on what would qualify as a pre-school or church. They also want the planning commission to look at allowing processing and production uses in light industrial zones as has been proposed in heavy industrial areas.

Hello again! I was on the old forum and I have not been sewing a lot lately. You know how life goes, right? But I have some new projects on the table and I'm anxious to get back on the forum. I'm especially excited because this summer I am going on a pioneer trek and that means I need some 1840's clothes. Hopefully the deadline will help me get things done

" You've got to push yourself harder. You've got to start looking for pictures nobody else could take. You've got to take the tools you have and probe deeper."
– William Albert Allard
That got your attention. Join me for a photography workshop with a difference. I can guarantee you will walk away with ideas to move your photography to a different level (or your money back, as they say).
Aimed at beginning photographers or intermediates looking for some new ideas, this workshop, lead by local travel and street photographer Terry Cooper, will challenge the way you are currently taking photographs and hopefully allow you to take the photos you always wanted to.
Topics covered will include (not necessarily in this order):
• The decisive few hours
• Go through the hole in the fence
• Why your camera is not helping you
• Stuff
• Let's get this straight
• RAW fish
• What's that histogram all about?
• Focus, focus, focus
• The eyes have it
• Beyond the rule of thirds
and much more. The presentation will be followed by lively discussion.
We are limited to 10 places so book soon

During the great California gold rush, early prospectors sifted through rocks and streams in the hopes of finding a fortune. But bigger hauls were often claimed by going below the surface and digging deeply into mines, where a treasure trove of gold lay waiting to be unearthed. The gold rush may be ancient history, but there's still potential treasure to be tapped--and crises that can be prevented too-by companies that are willing to delve deep into their dark data.
Dec 12, 2008
LinkedIn, an online network for professionals, announced the release of its new search platform. Users can refine search results by entering data in more than a dozen different fields that range from "name" and "company" to "school" and "language". Users do not need to switch tabs if they want to see results with professionals from outside their network. The new search will retrieve the most relevant professionals from the entire LinkedIn community. New features include: "In Common", a new field in search results that allows users to find what connections and groups you share with the selected user; the ability to save searches and receive reminders by email; two views as part of the search results redesign: basic and expanded; and a type-ahead widget that recommends connections as users type from any people search box.

Mother loses 20 STONE and 12 dress sizes after GP tells her she could be dead in two years
- Carole Wright, who weighed 30 stone and couldn't even put on her shoes, is named slimmer of the year
Trim: 54-year-old Carole dropped a staggering 12 dress sizes after her doctor told her she could be dead in two years
A woman who lost almost 20st after being told by her doctor that she could be dead within two years has dropped 12 dress sizes to be named Slimming World's Woman of the Year.
Carole Wright, 54, weighed almost 30st and was virtually housebound, unable to perform simple tasks such as putting on her shoes or loading the washing machine.
She left her house just four times between January and September 2009.
In just over two years, Ms Wright, from Southport, Merseyside, has lost 19st 10lbs and 27 inches from her waist after attending her local Slimming World group.
She said: 'The last time I weighed
10st I was 10 years old. My life is completely different from two years
ago. I've got a job in a sandwich shop so I'm talking to customers and
on my feet all day.
'I don't have pain in my knees
anymore and I haven't used my inhaler for over a year.
'I can do all of the little things everyone else takes for granted like putting my own shoes on, painting my toe nails and walking up stairs - in fact, I run up them now.'
The award-winning slimmer, who has always been known as 'Big Carole', has not only suffered from weight-related ailments, but has faced bullying and criticism about her size since she was young.
Ms Wright said: 'I was called names as a child and as an adult. Strangers in the street would make rude comments and the kids next door would shout abuse when I was hanging out the washing.
'I tried to lose weight on my own but within days I'd be back to eating unhealthily.'
Bullied: Nicknamed Big Carole, 30-stone Ms Wright suffered taunts about her size from a young age
It was soon after her 50th birthday in 2007 that Ms Wright's weight started getting dangerously out of control, at a time when she was forced to quit working due to a crippling knee injury.
She added: 'I couldn't do anything for myself anymore. I couldn't stand to peel potatoes or go upstairs without crawling on all fours.
'I relied on my asthma inhaler constantly and my son Jonathan, who's now 15, had to help around the house. All I ever did was watch television or sit at the computer.
Shock: Carole was mortified at her slimming group's initial weigh-in, but with the support of her fellow slimmers she managed to gradually shed the pounds
'It got to the stage where I wasn't only trapped inside the house, I was trapped in my own body too and I couldn't see a way out.'
It was during the nine-month period
in 2009 when she left her house just four times that Ms Wright received a
shock warning from her GP.
'If you don't do something about your weight, you're going to be dead in two years,' he said.
Terrified by this stark message, Ms Wright decided it was time to make changes and embark on a project which would potentially save her life.
Reminder: Carole with one of the large skirts she used to comfortably fill
She attended her first slimming class in September and even though she was shocked at her initial weight, found the group hugely supportive and is now a trim size 10.
She said: 'Weighing almost 30st was a huge shock and I burst into tears. That was hard, but the group was so instantly supportive - as soon as they saw my tears they all gave me hugs and words of encouragement.
'They gave me the confidence to give
it a go. Since then they've become like family to me. They've supported
me all the way through my journey.
'For the first time in my life I feel normal and it's a great feeling.
Slimming World has not only given me my life back, it's saved my life because I know if I hadn't lost weight I'd have been dead by now.'

I get paid no matter WHY CVS IS RED EVERY DAM DAY
I win I win
LMAO. That is what OWNING U is all about ustupidamateurbASHOEL
Cunningham calling BUY at 112 and posting 125 "Yahoo News" targets.
No cushion from upside so CVS gets punished worse
I like "rockin" cunningHAM. That is your pathetic name, HUMP. "Rockin" was the stockweeny's favorite-dats u weeney. Yeah WBA closing a $23 gap to $8 in under 20 sessions just as clone said it would with RAD merger coming along with another PBM to take biz from CMX--if any is left by then. Remember clone's warning about WBA's coming power merge while CVS moved to bankrupt Brazil and OPTUM destroys CMX, client by client. And then there's the ACA that Anthum and Aetna have geared up for and will pick CMX' bones with what is left. How nice, CVS will get 2 years to pave the start-up cracks for Aetna's new powerhouse PBM before CMX gets the Jan 2019 BOOT. Bendover Per, Aenta really gave you the "tailend" hump on that one. Oh---and then there's the FED contract. Poor CMX will have no volume clout-IT IS NOW #3 PBM BEING PASSED BY OPTUM, So, as Aetna uses it's own PBM and WBA gains RADs PBM, the new rankings will have CMX DEAD-last. Bye bye forever, FED. NO VOLUME/NO BID. And CVS won't even have cigatettes to sell and so RAD/WBA will have "front end" prosperity by abdication. HEADWINDS- BULL- CVS FACES A CERTAIN MULTIPLE, TRIPLE TSUNAMI. And BTW, go to your nearest TARGET and see where Target has strategically placed the COMPETITIVE (WITH cvs) products it will remain selling but can also be found inside cvs' StORE WITHIN A store. (Like how many people are going to go inside a Target store to buy from CVS? BY NEXT YEAR, WALMART WILL HAVE WALMART MINIS. Yes, but you can always count on CVS to move counter-economically. THE RUN FOR CVS IS DUN U FOOL. CVS IS DEADSTOCK TRADING- until the funds are out the door. aND i INTEND TO KEEP YOU HERE UNTIL you lose every penny. Why? Because I own you
Yes. I win. You lose $$$$$ and what makes it so nioce is that I have primed you TO LOSE EVERY PENNY ON CVS
10 years in the waiting for bashersuit's attack and death threats. THE BULLEYE IS HIT WEENEY
of MANY
Your the IT bASHOEL. I am making these dayers and getting farricher than a factless HUMP like you. HANG IN THERE ubASHOEL. You will see $70. LMAO

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a bone-marrow extraction and/or injection device and to an extraction and/or injection system incorporating such a device.
2. Description of the Related Art
Bone marrow is currently extracted by means of a hollow needle (or trocar) presenting an axial orifice through which the bone marrow flows. That type of extraction requires an internal rod (or mandrel) that is inserted into the needle. The function of the rod is to prevent the orifice of the needle from being blocked, in particular by a splinter of bone, during the penetration step in which the needle penetrates into the bone. During the extraction step proper, the rod is removed from the needle and is replaced with a syringe. The user then sucks the bone marrow out by means of the syringe via the orifice of the needle. The sucked-out bone marrow is then transferred into a collection pouch and put into contact with an anticoagulant. Then, the extraction steps are repeated, each time driving the needle provided with the rod further in, in order to collect more bone marrow. That extraction method presents numerous drawbacks. A major drawback is associated with implementing a succession of steps in order to obtain the desired quantity of bone marrow that might be as much as 1.5 liters (L). A typical sequence comprises putting the rod into place, causing the needle to penetrate into the bone, removing the rod, putting the syringe into place, sucking out the bone marrow, removing the syringe, and putting the rod back into place. That sequence needs to be repeated several times. The slow speed and the complexity of the extraction are drawbacks that relate to that type of extraction. That type of extraction mobilizes a large number of people for one to two hours. Generally, one or two doctors perform the extraction, assisted by one or two assistants who are responsible for putting the bone marrow into collection pouches for storage. Another drawback of that type of extraction relates to the successive replacement of the rod with the bone-marrow suction syringe. Thus, the latency time that elapses between removing the rod from the needle and putting the syringe into place means that the bone marrow flowing through the orifice comes into contact with ambient air. Such contact with ambient air can be a source of microbiological contamination of the extracted bone marrow, with the subsequent drawbacks that that implies.
An object of the present invention is thus to provide a bone-marrow extraction and/or injection device that does not have the above-mentioned drawbacks.
Another object of the present invention is to provide such a device that is also capable of being used in an injection mode, e.g. while transplanting bone marrow from a donor to a recipient.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an extraction and/or injection device that is simple to use, fast, and safe. More particularly, an object of the present invention is to provide an extraction and/or injection device that requires fewer personnel, that reduces the length of time patients are anesthetized, and that ensures that the bone marrow obtained is of good quality, being rich in blood stem cells.
Another object of the invention is to avoid any microbiological contamination of the bone marrow by integrating the extraction and/or injection device of the invention in a sterile extraction and/or injection system.
Another object of the present invention is to provide such a device and system that are simple and inexpensive to manufacture, assemble, and use.
The present invention thus provides a bone-marrow extraction and/or injection device comprising a grip zone, and a needle presenting at least one side orifice, a protective sleeve surrounding at least part of said needle being mounted to move relative to said needle between a closed position of said at least one side orifice and an open position of said at least one side orifice.
Advantageously, said protective sleeve of the device is mounted to turn about the needle.
Advantageously, said protective sleeve of the device includes at least one side opening that is positioned substantially facing said at least one side orifice of the needle in the open position.
Advantageously, said needle of the device is fastened onto a needle holder, said needle holder including reception means that are suitable for co-operating with fastener means of said protective sleeve.
Advantageously, said protective sleeve of the device comprises a first portion constituting a sheath surrounding said needle, and a second portion comprising said fastener means.
Advantageously, said fastener means of the device include at least one claw that is pivotally mounted, and that presents a manual actuation surface and a projection.
Advantageously, said reception means of said needle holder comprise at least one groove that is suitable for receiving at least one projection of said fastener means of said protective sleeve.
Advantageously, said device includes a mixing chamber that is connected to said needle, and to at least one inlet channel and at least one outlet channel.
The present invention also provides a bone-marrow extraction system including such a device.
Advantageously, said system includes a mixing chamber that is connected to said needle of the device, and to at least one inlet channel and at least one outlet channel.
Advantageously, an inlet channel is connected to a source of anticoagulant.
Advantageously, an outlet channel is connected to a bone-marrow collection vessel.
Advantageously, said system includes suction means connected at least to said needle.
Advantageously, said suction means comprise a vacuum pump.
Advantageously, said suction means are controlled by control means, such as a pedal that is actuated by the user.
Advantageously, said inlet channel projects into the mixing chamber and towards said outlet channel, so as to create a Venturi effect.
Advantageously, said system includes a timer device for setting the duration of the bone-marrow suction stages.
The present invention also provides a bone-marrow injection system including such an extraction and/or injection device.
Advantageously, said device is connected to a bone-marrow reservoir, said reservoir being connected to dispenser means.
Advantageously, said dispenser means comprise a pump, such as a syringe with an electrically-driven plunger, or a CO2 pump.
Advantageously, said extraction and/or injection system is packaged in sterile manner.
Other characteristics and advantages of the invention appear from the following detailed description of a particular embodiment of the invention, given by way of non-limiting example, and with reference to the accompanying drawings, and in which:
With reference to
The grip zone 2 is a surface that is gripped by the user of the device while bone marrow is being extracted and/or injected. By way of example, the grip zone can be made in the form of a handle, e.g. a handle similar to the handle of a screwdriver. However, the handle can be of any shape and have any characteristics, the present invention not being limited in any way to this particular embodiment, which is given merely by way of example.
The needle 10 is in the form of a cylindrical hollow body 12 that is terminated by a point 11 that is adapted to pierce bone. The needle presents a flow duct 14. In the invention, the needle includes at least one, and advantageously two, side orifices 15, formed near to the point 11, and advantageously at the end of the cylindrical body 12. It should be noted that the orifices formed in the body of the needle can be of any shape. The needle 10 advantageously co-operates with a needle holder 30. The needle holder can be made integrally with the needle, or, as shown in
The protective sleeve 20 advantageously comprises firstly a first portion forming a sheath 21, and secondly a second portion comprising fastener means 22. The sheath 21 constitutes an advantageously cylindrical casing surrounding all or part of the needle 10. The needle can thus be surrounded over a fraction only of its length, or over a fraction only of its width, providing said sheath co-operates with said at least one side orifice 15 of the needle. In the invention, the sleeve 20 is mounted to move relative to the needle 10 between a closed position of said at least one side orifice and an open position of said at least one side orifice 15. The sheath 21 advantageously includes at least one side opening 25 that can be moved into co-incidence with a respective side orifice 15 of the needle in the open position. The side opening 25 preferably presents a shape that corresponds to the shape of the side orifice 15 of the needle, but a different shape can also be envisaged. Various combinations of shapes can thus be envisaged, making it possible to bring the side orifice(s) 15 of the needle into register with the side opening(s) 25 of the sheath, thereby defining one or more through holes via which the bone marrow can pass while it is being extracted or injected.
The fastener means 22 of the protective sleeve 20 advantageously present an overall shape in the form of fins or claws. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the device includes two fastener means 22 that are situated substantially facing each other. The fastener means 22 can comprise firstly a manual actuation surface 23, and secondly a projection 24. The fastener means 22 are advantageously mounted on a fastener bushing 26. The fastener bushing 26 and the sheath 21 of the protective sleeve 20 could be made as a single part. However, in the embodiment in
It should be noted that the above-described embodiment constitutes an advantageous embodiment of the invention, and that various variants can be envisaged. For example, the displacement of the protective sleeve 20 from the closed position to the open position (and vice-versa) could be done by displacing the protective sleeve axially, or by combining both a turning movement with an axial displacement movement. In addition, the fastener means 22 of the sleeve 20 could be made in some other way, and could, for example, incorporate indicator means for clearly indicating to the user the position of the sleeve relative to the needle.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the device includes a mixing chamber 13. The mixing chamber 13 is connected to the duct 14 of the needle, to at least one inlet channel 31, and to at least one outlet channel 32. The duct 14 of the needle conveys the extracted bone marrow. Said at least one inlet channel 31 can convey an anticoagulant, such as heparin, that serves to avoid blood clots forming in the extracted bone marrow. Said at least one outlet channel 32 thus contains a mixture of anticoagulant and bone marrow, and can lead to a collection vessel. The inlet and outlet channels 31 and 32 are advantageously disposed on either side of the mixing chamber 13. In a variant, it is possible to envisage that the mixing chamber and said at least one inlet channel and at least one outlet channel are made separately from the extraction and/or injection device.
Said at least one inlet channel 31 advantageously projects into the mixing chamber 13, and can even be positioned directly at least one outlet channel 32. This type of disposition favors creating a Venturi effect, consequently improving mixing of the bone marrow with the anticoagulant mixture at said at least one outlet channel 32. This improved mixing therefore assists in obtaining better quality bone marrow.
In order to make it easier to put the needle 10 into place on the needle holder 30, indexing means can be provided. By way of example, the indexing means can be made up of a hole 105 formed in the platform 103 of the needle, and co-operating with a projection 305 on the needle holder. Thus, while the needle 10 is being inserted into the central orifice 310 of the needle holder, the platform is thus positioned in such a manner that the projection 305 becomes engaged in the hole 105. As a result of this positioning, the holes 303 and 304 are in alignment, thereby making it easier to insert the fastener pegs 301. In addition, indexing means for putting the add-on element 130 into place on the platform 103 can be provided in order to bring the holes 302 into alignment with the holes 303 and 304.
As described above, the sheath 21 of the protective sleeve can be a part that is added on. In this event, the sheath 21 is inserted into an orifice 265 passing through the fastener bushing 26. The protective sleeve 20 is held by means of a crossbar 203 that is positioned in a housing 263 of complementary shape, formed in the fastener bushing.
The embodiment described above with reference to
The mixing chamber 13 provided in the add-on element 130 can optionally be assembled on the needle holder 30 by means of the pegs 301, before assembling the needle holder 30 on the bushing 26. In addition, the handle 2 can be pre-assembled using said pegs 301.
Naturally, this embodiment is only an example. In particular, various elements described above could be made as a single part, so as to limit the number of parts to be assembled. For example, the mixing chamber 13 could be formed in the needle holder 30, and the needle 10 could be made integrally with said needle holder 30. The mixing chamber 13 could also be formed in the handle 2. The sleeve 20 could also be made as a single part. The essential idea is to make a sleeve 20 that can be displaced relative to the needle 10 between its closed and open positions.
The present invention also relates to an extraction and/or injection system that integrates an extraction and/or injection device 1 as described above.
The present invention also relates to an injection system that can be used for transplanting bone marrow into the trabeculae of spongy bone. In this event, the device 1 is merely connected to a bone-marrow reservoir of the syringe type. The syringe can be actuated manually, or it can be connected to pump-type dispenser means, e.g. a syringe with an electrically-driven plunger, or any other type of pump, such as a CO2 pump, or to any other optionally-electric control system. Such means thus ensure complete control of the speed and of the quantity of bone marrow to be transplanted.
When the device is used in an injection system, the inlet channel 31 of the mixing chamber 13 is preferably closed. For example, the channel 31 can be removed and the resulting hole blocked by any suitable means. The mixing chamber 13 thus advantageously becomes a mere transit chamber for the bone marrow.
The extraction and/or injection device and the extraction and/or injection system of the invention are advantageously supplied in the form of a kit. The parts that make up the kit are advantageously packaged in sterile manner, thereby avoiding any microbiological contamination.
Although the invention is described above with reference to a particular embodiment thereof, naturally it is not limited by said embodiment, but on the contrary, any useful modifications can be applied thereto by the user, without going beyond the ambit of the present invention, as defined by the accompanying claims.
