An applicator device for storing and dispensing an adhesive or sealant material, which are compatible with irradiation sterilization techniques, the applicator comprising: an applicator body comprising a cutting portion to break the frangible seal of the container for the adhesive, and a grasping and squeezing portion for controlling the flow rate of the adhesive; a container for an adhesive material that is movable relative to the applicator body and is made of materials with high barrier property; and a porous applicator tip that is secured to or frictionally fits into the applicator body.
Claims19
An applicator device for storing and dispensing an adhesive material comprising:
- a container for an adhesive material that is movable within the applicator wherein the container comprises a frangible seal for containing the adhesive material;
- and
- a body portion comprising:
- a porous applicator tip, a cutting portion to break the frangible seal thus allowing flow of the adhesive towards the porous applicator tip, and a flexible portion for controlling the flow rate of the adhesive.
An applicator device for storing and dispensing an adhesive material:
- a) an applicator body comprising a grasping portion and an open end that is connected to the applicator tip,
- b) a container for an adhesive material that is movable relative to the applicator body, wherein the container comprises a frangible seal;
- c) a cutting device that is affixed to the applicator body to break the frangible seal of the container when the container is moved in contact with the cutting device;
- d) an applicator tip equipped with a screw or snap-fit cap to tightly connect to the applicator body for preventing leak of the adhesive during activation of the applicator;
- and
- e) a container mount, onto which the container is attached.
An applicator device for storing and dispensing an adhesive, the applicator comprising:
- a) an applicator body comprising an air space reducer, a container comprising a frangible lid for sealing the applicator body, and a grasping portion for controlling the flow rate of the adhesive;
- and
- b) an applicator tip selected from the group consisting of:
- a fibrous swab, a sponge swab, foam, and a brush;
- and
- c) an applicator cap to seal the applicator tip.
