FIBRIN SEALANT APPLICATOR

摘要

An applicator is provided for dispensing a first and a second component of a biological adhesive. The applicator includes a housing having a housing head for enclosing therein a first reservoir containing the first component, and a second reservoir containing the second component. The housing further includes an elongated body portion defining a longitudinal axis for enclosing therein a conduit assembly ha ving a first and a second conduit in communication with the first and second reservoir, respe ctively. An activator assembly is provided which includes an activator and a rachet mecha nism for compressing the reservoirs within the housing for dispensing the biological components into the conduits. An applicator tip having two separate channels in communication with the conduits may be provided on a distal end of the elongated body portion for dispensing the components on the application site. The first and sec ond components are preferably fibrinogen and thrombin which intermix to form a fibri n sealant.
