ABSTRACT:
A disposable applicator has a frangible housing which prior to rupture can effectively maintain a sterile field for storage of antiseptic or the like. Preselected fluid matter is impregnated in an absorbent pad received within the frangible housing. During use, the housing is initially ruptured by peeling away a sealing layer from a supporting member so as to expose the absorbent pad. Then, upright members extending from the housing may be squeezed together for purposes of both handling the applicator and for flexing the remaining housing portion so as to push the absorbent pad away from the housing and towards the target surface. The absorbent pad is received within a concavity of the housing, which concavity tends to be flattened out by squeezing together the upright members which extend from the housing. The applicator presents a large surface area of the absorbent pad to the target surface to which the fluid matter is to be applied while also urging the absorbent pad towards the target surface, thereby enabling an efficient application operation. A high degree of control is also retrieved because the fluid matter is retained below the saturation point of the absorbent pad so that there is no drippage from the pad after it is exposed.
