A device for delivering a material to an orthopedic target site is disclosed. The device can be used to deliver bone cement to an intra-vertebral site. The device can have a pusher rod within a tube. The tube can be loaded with the bone cement distal to the pusher rod. The pusher rod can have varying rigidity along the length of the pusher rod. The tube and pusher rod can navigate tortuous pathways from a percutaneous or transcutaneous insertion en route to the target site or to improve extracorporeal ergonomics. Methods for using the same are also disclosed.

1. A device for delivering a material to an orthopedic target site comprising: a flexible tube having a first lumen having a first end and a second end;a pusher having a pusher total length between a pusher first end and a pusher second end, wherein the pusher comprises a pusher first length and a pusher second length, wherein the pusher first length has a first rigidity and the pusher second length has a second rigidity, said pusher comprising a first member spanning the first length and the second length, and a stiffening sheath spanning an entirety of only the first length; andwherein the first rigidity is greater than the second rigidity; andwherein the pusher and tube are configured for the pusher to be slidably received by the first end of the first lumen; andwherein the material is located in the first lumen between the pusher and the second end. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein the pusher first length is at least 10% of the pusher total length. 3. The device of claim 2, wherein the pusher second length is at least 10% of the pusher total length. 4. The device of claim 1, wherein the pusher second length is at least 10% of the pusher total length. 5. The device of claim 1, wherein the material comprises a bone cement, and wherein the flexible tube comprises a low friction material configured to resist binding to the bone cement. 6. The device of claim 1, wherein the flexible tube is translucent and/or transparent. 7. The device of claim 1, wherein the flexible tube comprises a second lumen. 8. The device of claim 1, wherein the pusher second length comprises a cable. 9. The device of claim 1, wherein the flexible tube includes a first curve. 10. The device of claim 1, further including a delivery tube adapted for receiving the flexible tube. 11. The device of claim 1, further including a handle attached to the pusher first end. 12. The device of claim 11, wherein the pusher first length extends from the pusher first end to a pusher transition point, and wherein the pusher second length extends from the pusher transition point to the pusher second end. 13. A device for delivering a material into a target site comprising: a flexible tube having a first lumen with a first end and a second end, said flexible tube including closing means for regulating a flow of the material through the second end; anda pusher slidably received in at least a portion of the first lumen, said pusher having a pusher total length, wherein the pusher comprises a pusher first length and a pusher second length, wherein the pusher first length has a first rigidity and the pusher second length has a second rigidity, said pusher comprising a first member spanning the first length and the second length, and a stiffening sheath spanning the first length, the first member and stiffening sheath being concentric along an entirety of the first pusher length, and wherein the first rigidity is greater than the second rigidity. 14. The device of claim 13, wherein the pusher includes a proximal portion corresponding, in use, to the first end of the flexible tube and a distal portion corresponding, in use, to a second end of the flexible tube, and wherein the distal portion comprises the pusher second length. 15. The device of claim 13, further including a delivery tube adapted for receiving the flexible tube. 16. The device of claim 13, further including a first handle on the flexible tube and a second handle on the pusher. 17. The device of claim 13, wherein the flexible tube includes a first curve. 18. The device of claim 13, wherein the first member is within the stiffening sheath along the first pusher length. 19. A device for delivering a material into a target site comprising: a tube having a first lumen with a first end and a second end;a tube end element attached to the second end of the first lumen, said tube end element including a cross-section with one or more vanes therein, said vanes furcating a portion of the first lumen and defining at least a second lumen and a third lumen such that the first lumen is in fluid communication with both the second lumen and the third lumen, said vanes adapted for providing increased surface area for bonding to the material; anda pusher slidably received in first end of the first lumen, said pusher having a proximal portion and a distal portion, wherein the distal portion of the pusher is less rigid than the proximal portion of the pusher, and wherein the pusher includes a first member spanning an entirety of the proximal portion and the distal portion, and a stiffening sheath spanning an entirety of only the proximal portion. 20. The device of claim 19, wherein the tube comprises a flexible tube. 21. The device of claim 19, further including a delivery tube adapted for receiving the flexible tube. 22. The device of claim 19, wherein the first member is made of the same material as the stiffening sheath. 23. The device of claim 19, wherein the first member is made of a different material than the stiffening sheath.
