1. A magnetic field forming device for active water, which has a fluid flow path formed in a through hole, comprising:
a rod-shaped magnet disposed with predetermined spacing with respect to the inner wall of the through hole and having a fluid flow path formed between the inner wall and the side of the magnet;
a guide member that is formed to have the maximum outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of an opening portion at both ends of the through hole, is adhered to and fixed to one end or both ends of the magnet, and is inserted into the interior of the through hole; and
a communication portion formed in the guide member and communicating with the fluid flow path;
wherein the guide member has an inclined portion the diameter of which is reduced toward the magnet.
2. The magnetic field forming device for active water according to claim 1, wherein the guide member is formed of a non-magnetic material.
3. A fluid treatment apparatus, comprising: a casing having one or a plurality of through holes formed therein; and a magnetic field forming device for active water internally inserted into the through hole(s) of the casing according to claim 1 or 2.
4. The fluid treatment apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the casing is formed of a magnetic material.
5. The fluid treatment apparatus according to claim 3, further comprising a treatment chamber disposed in the way of piping, in which the casing may be detachably accommodated.
6. (canceled)
7. The fluid treatment apparatus according to claim 4, further comprising a treatment chamber disposed in the way of piping, in which the casing may be detachably accommodated.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A spinal cannula for delivering a therapeutic agent to a spinal cord target, said spinal cannula having a distal end portion and a proximal end portion, said spinal cannula comprising:
a deployable cannula member having a distal end portion, a proximal end portion, a middle portion extending between said distal and proximal end portions, and a first lumen extending between said distal and proximal end portions;
a fluid delivery line operably connected to said proximal end portion of said deployable cannula member, said fluid delivery line including a second lumen in fluid communication with said first lumen of said deployable cannula member;
a support cannula proximally located from said deployable cannula member and securely connected to a portion of said fluid delivery line; and
a delivery cannula having a distal end portion, a proximal end portion, and a third lumen extending between said distal and proximal end portions for receiving said support cannula, said proximal end portion including a locking mechanism for releasably engaging said proximal end portion of said support cannula;
wherein said middle portion of said deployable cannula member comprises a flattened, disc-like fixing member including oppositely disposed proximal and distal surfaces;
wherein said distal end portion of said deployable cannula member further comprises a needle having a distal end and a proximal end, said proximal end being integrally formed with said distal surface of said fixing member.
2. The spinal cannula of claim 1, wherein said proximal end portion of said deployable cannula member further includes a hub member having a proximal end and a distal end, said distal end being integrally formed with said proximal surface of said fixing member.
3. The spinal cannula of claim 1, wherein said spinal cannula has a rigid configuration when said locking mechanism is engaged with said proximal end portion of said support cannula.
4. The spinal cannula of claim 3, wherein said proximal surface of said fixing member is in contact with said proximal end portion of said delivery cannula in the rigid configuration.
5. The spinal cannula of claim 1, wherein said spinal cannula has a flexible configuration when said locking mechanism is disengaged from said proximal end portion of said support cannula.
6. The spinal cannula of claim 5, wherein said fixing member is separated from said delivery cannula in the flexible configuration.
7. The spinal cannula of claim of claim 2, wherein said fixing member has a diameter greater than the diameter of said needle and the diameter of said hub member.
8. The spinal cannula of claim 1, wherein said locking mechanism is integrally formed with said proximal end portion of said delivery cannula.
9. A spinal cannula for delivering a therapeutic agent to a spinal cord target, said spinal cannula having a distal end portion and a proximal end portion, said spinal cannula comprising:
a deployable cannula member comprising a needle having a distal end and a proximal end, a hub member having a distal end and a proximal end, a disc-shaped fixing member having oppositely disposed distal and proximal surfaces, and a first lumen extending between said needle and said hub member, said proximal end of said needle being integrally formed with said distal surface of said fixing member and said distal end of said hub member being integrally formed with said proximal surface of said fixing member;
a fluid delivery line operably connected to said proximal end of said hub member, said fluid delivery line including a second lumen in fluid communication with said first lumen;
a support cannula proximally located from said deployable cannula member and securely connected to a portion of said fluid delivery line; and
a delivery cannula having a distal end portion, a proximal end portion, and a third lumen extending between said distal and proximal end portions for receiving said support cannula, said proximal end portion including a locking mechanism for releasably engaging said proximal end portion of said support cannula.
10. The spinal cannula of claim 9, wherein said fluid delivery line is directly connected to said proximal end of said hub member.
