Claims18
A single use fluid delivery system, comprising:
- a fluid containing vial fitted with a non-removable sealing plug;
- a separate fluid applicator non-removably installable on the fluid vial;
- and
- a ball seal structure located on the fluid vial and configured to seal the fluid vial until the applicator is installed,
- wherein the fluid filled and sealed vial and the applicator are provided as separate pieces, and during use of the single dose fluid delivery system the applicator is installed onto the vial, and during installation of the applicator onto the vial, the seal is dislodged and opens a channel for the fluid to flow to the applicator.
A single use fluid delivery system, comprising:
- a vial containing a fluid and the vial being formed to be squeezable under hand pressure for dispensing of fluid from the vial, the vial having one end including a ball seal structure configured to seal the fluid vial and including a ball;
- and
- a separate fluid applicator installable onto the fluid vial, the applicator having an inlet that cooperates with the ball of the ball seal structure to dislodge the ball during installation of the applicator onto the vial to enable fluid to travel from the vial to the applicator after installation of the applicator onto the vial, the inlet configured to cooperate with the ball after installation of the applicator onto the vial such that the ball does not block the travel of fluid from the vial to the applicator.
