ABSTRACT:
An applicator is disclosed for injecting or releasing a fluidic or solid substance into a cavity or tissue of a patient. The applicator is used to release a contained substance along the length of the applicator when the applicator has been inserted and positioned in the patient. Thus, if required, the substance to be released can easily be dispensed along a particular path such that a proper amount of the substance is dispensed along the path. In particular, the applicator of the present invention is useful in placing absorptive foam pads within a nasal cavity and in inserting implants into a breast.
