Patent number: 8807859Abstract: A liquid applicator contains a hollow body portion incorporating a reservoir portion for containing a liquid to be applied by the applicator; an outlet portion having first and second ends, the first end being connected to an outlet mouth of the reservoir; an applicator tip assembly provided on the second end of the outlet portion for discharge of liquid from the reservoir portion via said outlet portion; a plug located in the mouth of the reservoir portion; and actuator for applying an actuating force to the mouth wall to effect movement of the plug towards the outlet portion and for squeezing the walls of the reservoir portion to effect discharge of liquid from the reservoir portion via the outlet portion and the applicator device. The liquid to be dispensed is retained in a reservoir that is sealed by a plug until usage.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2013Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Advanced Medical Solutions (Plymouth) LimitedInventor: Richard J.

Publication number: 20120138070Abstract: An applicator for dispensing uniform thickness layers of liquid to surfaces and especially surgical sealants to surgical sites to create, in situ, a surgical incise drape is disclosed. The applicator employs a supported thin layer of foam which achieves layer thickness which are substantially independent of the pressure applied to the applicator during use. Methods of using the applicator are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2011Publication date: June 7, 2012Inventors: Richard J. STENTON, George Reed

Publication number: 20040253039Abstract: An applicator has a reservoir adapted to contain a fluid and a pad in fluid communication with the reservoir. A tab serves to seal the fluid reservoir at a breakable connection, with breaking of the breakable connection allowing passage of fluid from the reservoir into the pad. The tab may be removable, or it may be embedded in the tab. Fluids with which use of the applicator is contemplated include sterilizable fluids for therapeutic applications to mammalian tissue, including topical liquids such as tissue adhesives for surgical applications, coatings and sealants. One candidate fluid is a cyanoacrylate prepolymer.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2003Publication date: December 16, 2004Inventor: Richard J. Stenton
