Abstract: A gas-assisted fluid-dispensing device (10) for delivering an aerosol. The gas-assisted fluid-dispensing device (10) includes a syringe (14) that contains a fluid and includes a distal end (18), a proximal end (20), and a plunger (24) extending proximally from the proximal end (20). A spray nozzle tip (26) is configured to generate the aerosol and is coupled to the distal end (18) of the syringe (14). The gas-assisted fluid-dispensing device (10) further includes a housing (44) having first and second housing portions (52, 54). The first housing portion (52) includes a docking port (42) for receiving the syringe (14); the second housing portion (54) is configured as a handle. A trigger (50), coupled to the housing (44), is operably coupled to an actuating member (58) that is configured to apply a force onto the plunger (24) of the syringe (14) and discharge the fluid from the syringe (14) and into the spray nozzle tip (26).
