Abstract
An applicator for applying a biocompatible adhesive containing human or aal protein as a principal ingredient to a surgical site of living body includes a housing to which a sterile gas is supplied, a sterile-gas supply tube connected to the housing, two adjacent sterile-gas ejecting nozzles for ejecting the sterile gas in the same direction, two adapters to which respective nozzles of syringe barrels are connected, and a pair of solution tubes, each having one end connected to the adapter and the other end protruded outwardly from the sterile gas ejection nozzle through an interior of the housing. Respective solutions supplied from the syringes via the pair of barrel adapters are ejected from the outlets of the solution tubes. The sterile gas is ejected from two sterile-gas ejection nozzles in the same direction. Consequently, the solutions are sprayed and mixed by the sterile gas, and then applied to the surgical site.
