摘要： An interface needle (12) is used for connecting a syringe (14) to a catheter (10) to create a blunt interface between two or more liquids being delivered through the catheter (10). The interface needle (12) is particularly useful for creating a blunt interface between a bio-compatible solvent and a liquid embolic composition which is delivered to the body for treatment of various conditions including aneurysms. A system for liquid delivery with a blunt liquid interface includes a catheter (10) or other cannula, an interface needle (12), and a syringe (14). The interface needle (12) includes a tube (36) extending from a distal end which delivers liquid to a lumen of the catheter (10) bypassing a reservoir (36) in the catheter hub (28) to create the blunt liquid interface. One embodiment of the interface needle (12) controls an injection pressure of high viscosity liquids.
