A system and method for producing a high repetition pulsed microjet for use
in medical applications. The device includes a stagnation chamber and a
hydraulic pump for pumping a sterile fluid into the stagnation chamber. A
flexible walled volume disposed in the stagnation chamber and filled with
a hydraulic fluid. The hydraulic piston is cyclically displaced
towards/away from the stagnation chamber thereby increasing/decreasing the
pressure of the hydraulic fluid on the flexible walled volume. In turn,
the flexible walled volume is compressed and the sterile fluid is expelled
through an orifice in the flexible walled volume under pressure producing
the pulsed microjet. This process may be repeated to produce repetitive
pulsed microjets. In addition, the flow conduction of the hydraulic fluid
between the hydraulic pump and stagnation chamber may be controlled by
inserting a blocking device therebetween.
