Stylus applicator for a rehydrated multi-constituent medication

An applicator for applying a multi-constituent liquid medication to a tissue area in need of treatment, said applicator comprising:

• a hollow, flexible body having closed distal and proximal ends;
• an absorbent swab retained entirely within said body at the distal end thereof;
• a dry medication stored within said body and communicating with said absorbent swab;
• a liquid stored within said body at the proximal end thereof;
• a defeatable fluid barrier located within said body between said distal and proximal ends to block the introduction of the liquid at the proximal end of said body to the dry medication at said distal end, the proximal end of said body being responsive to a compressive force applied thereto to generate a corresponding hydraulic pressure within said liquid to defeat the fluid blocking integrity of said barrier so that said liquid can be introduced to and mixed with said dry medication to produce a liquid multi-constituent medication, said liquid medication being absorbed by said swab;
• and
• a peripheral tearline formed in the distal end of said body surrounding said absorbent swab so that the distal end of said body can be separated from said proximal end to thereby expose said swab within said body so that said swab can be moved into contact with the tissue area in need of treatment and apply the multi-constituent medication thereto.

An applicator for applying a multi-constituent liquid medication to a tissue area in need of treatment, said applicator comprising:

• a hollow, flexible body having an open distal end and a closed proximal end;
• an elongated stylus absorbent swab having a first end retained within the open distal end of said body and an opposite end projecting outwardly from said distal end to contact the tissue area to be treated;
• a dry medication stored within the distal end of said body and communicating with said absorbent swab;
• a liquid stored within the proximal end of said body;
• a fluid barrier extending in lateral alignment across said body between said distal and proximal ends thereof to block the introduction of the liquid at the proximal end of said body to the dry medication at said distal end, the proximal end of said body being responsive to a compressive force applied thereto to generate a corresponding hydraulic pressure within the said liquid to displace said fluid barrier through said body and move said fluid barrier out of said lateral alignment across said body so that said liquid can be introduced to and mixed with said dry medication to produce a liquid multi-constituent medication, said liquid medication being absorbed by said swab for application to the tissue area in need of treatment;
• and
• an end cap removably attached to the distal end of said body to surround the opposite end of said absorbent swab projecting outwardly therefrom.
