Abstract
A single-use applicator assembly for dispensing and applying a polymerizable monomeric adhesive material includes: a base portion having at least one sealed compartment; a polymerizable monomeric adhesive material contained in the compartment; an applicator at least partially disposed in the compartment such that a tip of the applicator is proximate the adhesive material. The at least one sealed compartment may comprise first and second sealed compartments that are separated with the polymerizable monomeric adhesive material contained in the first compartment and the applicator at least partially disposed in the second compartment. Alternatively, the first and second compartments may be open to each other. In such case, the applicator assembly may further comprise a plunger that defines the second compartment and that is movable into the first compartment to displace the adhesive material into the second compartment. A kit can include multiple applicator assemblies that are separate or frangibly connected.
