Abstract
A device comprising a housing including a palm portion, a sheath portion extending from one end of the palm portion, and a slot comprising an adjustable platform capable of receiving a syringe and a needle connected to the syringe with the needle resting in the sheath portion. A trigger mechanism is connected to the adjustable platform. Adjustment of the trigger mechanism in a first direction moves the platform along the slot toward the sheath portion and adjustment of the bidirectional trigger mechanism in a second direction moves the platform away from the sheath. A light element is connected to the housing and is capable of directing light along the sheath portion away from the palm portion. A power source is electrically coupled to the light element to provide electrical power to the light element. Also disclosed is a system comprising the device, as well as methods of using the device.
