• and
• a threaded sleeve that has threading on an inner portion thereof that is engaged with threading on an outer portion of the first stem limb,
• wherein a position of the first stem limb relative to the second stem limb in the stem configuration is adjustable by rotation of the threaded sleeve relative to the stem configuration, enabling a vertical movement of the first stem limb relative to the second stem limb for adjustment of the position of the first stem limb relative to the second stem limb in the stem configuration and defining an alpha angle between the first stem limb and the at least one applicator limb and a beta angle between the at least one applicator limb and the second stem limb.
