摘要

The present invention provides a novel apparatus for delivering a liquid or gel-like surgical material to a target site within a body cavity. The apparatus is characterized in part by an elongated structural member adapted for engagement with a conventional syringe and cannula assembly. In preferred embodiments of the present invention, devices of the invention further comprise a highly flexible applicator tip which permits application of the surgical material at variable delivery angles and even against gravity. Methods also are disclosed for applying the surgical material to the target site using devices of the present invention.
