Abstract
Disclosed is an applicator device (10) for applying a multi-component fluid, especially a multi-component tissue glue, comprising a plurality of substantially cylindrical supply containers (12) for respectively one component of the fluid to be applied, each supply container (12) having a front end (16) with an outlet opening (18), a rear end (22) opposite to the front end (16), and a slidably displaceable piston (24) arranged within the supply container (12) and having a piston rod (26) extending out of the rear end (22) for operating the piston (24). Moreover, the applicator device includes a manifold (72) having terminal ends (50,58) with a first port for fluid connection with the front ends (16) of the supply containers (12), the manifold (72) further having internal channels (62) extending from the first ports of the terminal ends (50,58) to an outlet site. Finally, also a holding element (38) for holding the supply containers (12), and a coupling element (74) extending from the holding element (38) and having a connection end (76) connected to the manifold (72) are provided, wherein the connection end (76) of the coupling element (74) is bonded to the manifold (72).
