1. A medical skin applicator apparatus, which comprises:
a fluid housing having a fluid chamber for storing and selectively releasing a medical agent; and an applicator coupled to the fluid housing, the applicator including an applicator surface in fluid communication with the fluid chamber for applying the medical agent to a patient, the applicator surface defining an asymmetric configuration including a relatively enlarged portion having a pair of opposed generally convex surfaces extending from a trailing surface of the applicator surface, and a relatively narrowed portion extending from the enlarged portion, the narrowed portion having a pair of opposed generally concave surfaces extending contiguously from the convex surfaces of the enlarged portion to a leading surface, the applicator surface defining a longitudinal axis and having a longitudinal length, the applicator surface defining a maximum width “w1”which is generally closer to a midpoint of the longitudinal length than to the trailing surface of the applicator surface; and an applicator frame connected to the applicator, the applicator frame defining a central enlarged orifice for delivering the medical agent from the fluid housing to the applicator, the applicator frame includes a first channel defined in an upper surface of the applicator frame and extending longitudinally toward a leading end of the applicator frame, the first channel in fluid communication with the central enlarged orifice for facilitating delivery of the medical agent toward the leading surface of the applicator, the applicator frame including a second channel adjacent a trailing end of the applicator frame, the second channel in fluid communication with the central enlarged orifice for facilitating delivery of the medical agent toward the trailing surface of the applicator.
