Patent number: 11647984Abstract: A gel application system includes an applicator body having a first surface, a second surface and at least one opening extending through the applicator body from the first surface to the second surface. At least one gel packet is attached to the first surface of the applicator and defines an interior volume containing gel. The interior volume of the gel packet is in fluid flow communication with the at least one opening. The at least one gel packet is made of a material that has sufficient flexibility to allow a user to squeeze and compress the interior volume and expel gel through the at least one opening, by applying a compression force on the gel packet.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2020Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: NovaSignal Corp.Inventors: John Arant, Sandeep Deol, Trevor Dunlop, Lane Stith, Seth Wilk, Jan Zwierstra
