Abstract
A disposable single-use applicator assembly includes a package that sealably contains a fluid to be dispensed in and around an applicator for dispensing the fluid. The applicator has a handle and a fluid holding element at a first end portion of the handle. Prior to use, the fluid holding element is disposed in the package that contains the dispensable fluid. A hermetic closure is provided between a first end portion of the package and an intermediate portion of the handle. A second end portion of the handle extends clear of the package. A breakable portion of the package proximate to the hermetic closure allows the fluid holding element to be withdrawn from the package and thereby uncovered for use.
