FLUID APPLICATION DEVICE AND METHOD

摘要

A system for applying a fluid, comprising a packet containing a fluid, the packet comprising first and second opposing packet sides defining therebetween a sealed space containing the fluid; a frangible area configured to rupture upon compressing the packet to release the fluid from the packet; and a collapsibility feature enabling the first packet side of the packet to invert from a convex position to a concave position upon compressing the packet so that the formerly sealed space is substantially completely collapsed; and an applicator device comprising: a handle having a proximal end and a distal end, the handle comprising a receptacle at the proximal end of the handle, the receptacle configured to receive the packet of the fluid and facilitate expulsion of the fluid from the packet; a base disposed at the distal end of the handle and configured to direct flow of the released fluid and including a distal opening; and an applicator pad configured to be coupled to the base, in fluid communication with an interior portion of the receptacle via the distal opening of the base.
