Abstract

A handle component of a medical device is disclosed for delivering a material to an enclosed cavity or space. The handle component includes a self-contained mechanism for holding the material and for providing or releasing the material to the enclosed cavity. The handle component also includes a pressure relief valve in fluid communication with the mechanism and the enclosed cavity. The pressure relief valve is configured to indicate when delivery of the material to the enclosed cavity reaches a preselected or set pressure and to thereby assure precise filling of the enclosed cavity with the material.
