Abstract:
A minimally invasive and particularly small apparatus for drilling into bone and for providing for delivery of medical treatment is provided. The directional drilling apparatus includes a miniature shaft, a bit, first shaft-mounted thrust ring, second shaft-mounted thrust ring, a tubing jacket surrounding the shaft and intermediate the first and second shaft-mounted thrust rings, and a guide tube encapsulating the tubing jacket. As a result, a hole, targeted towards a cancerous lesion within the bone, is possible. After removal of the shaft and the tubing jacket, treatment may be introduced through the particularly small passage created by the directional drilling apparatus or through the passage via a capillary inserted through at least a portion of the guide tube and the passage, which guide tube may include a hypodermic needle.
