ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a laparoscopic sealant applicator wherein a multi-lumen tubing, in fluid communication with a source of sealant, extends a suitable distance beyond a handle so that the tubing can be laparoscopically inserted and articulated in a desired direction to a desired site.
PCT/US96/19505, entitled A Method of Applying a Mixture of Two Liquid Components as well as a Device for Carrying Out the Method, filed Dec. 6, 1996, discloses an applicator device for applying a surgical sealant, e.g., a fibrin sealant, to a desired site. The applicator consists of a relatively thin multi-lumen tubing which is in fluid communication with sources of sealant components at one end and forms, or is connected to, a spray tip at the other end. In a preferred embodiment, the tubing runs through a handle at or near the spray tip end. The handle is the part of the instrument held by the surgeon to apply the sealant and it may include activating means for actuating the spray from the component sources.
Sealants would also be useful in laparoscopic procedures.
