Multiple function medical adhesive applicator

An applicator for closing, sealing and dressing a wound with liquid adhesive comprising a body with an internal reservoir capable of containing said liquid adhesive, a liquid adhesive-communicating opening between the internal reservoir and the exterior of the body;

• a liquid adhesive-permeable sponge disposed over the opening;
• a slotted tip nozzle removably disposed over the sponge;
• and a small orifice tip nozzle removably disposed over the slotted tip nozzle;
• the applicator permitting;
• closure of the wound by applying small drops of the liquid adhesive to the wound to produce a closed wound, the small drops provided by passing a first portion of liquid adhesive from the internal reservoir, through the opening, through the sponge, through the slotted tip nozzle and finally through the small orifice tip nozzle to the wound:
• removal of the small orifice tip nozzle to form an applicator without a small orifice tip nozzle;
• the applicator without a small orifice tip nozzle permitting;
• sealing of the closed wound by applying a line of the liquid adhesive to the closed wound to produce a sealed wound, the line provided by passing a second portion of liquid adhesive from the internal reservoir, through the opening, through the sponge, and finally through the slotted tip nozzle to the closed wound:
• and removal of the slotted tip nozzle to form an applicator without a small orifice tip nozzle or a slotted tip nozzle, the applicator without a small orifice tip nozzle or a slotted tip nozzle permitting;
• dressing of the sealed wound by applying a layer of the liquid adhesive to the closed wound to produce a dressed wound;
• the layer provided by passing a third portion of liquid adhesive from the internal reservoir, through the opening, and finally through the sponge to the sealed wound.
