Abstract

A package assembly holds at least one applicator nozzle tip and, optionally, a fluid-containing vial adapted for attachment to the nozzle tip. By providing the vial with a fluid-dispensing end, it may be used with or without the nozzle tip. When used in combination, the vial and nozzle tip can be employed to dispense, for instance, a medical adhesive to a wound site.
