A surgical device for applying a bandage onto tissue is disclosed. The
surgical device has an actuator and contains one or more releasable
bandages and an adhesive. Actuation of the actuator releases the
adhesive, saturates the bandage with the adhesive, and releases the
bandage onto tissue. The actuator can be squeezed, moved linearly, or
rotated to dispense the adhesive onto the bandage and release the
saturated bandage. The adhesive can be stored in an ampoule, or a sealed
chamber. Actuation of the surgical device breaks the ampoule and/or seal
and releases the adhesive for use. In addition to the adhesive,
additional fluids or additives can be mixed with the adhesive or stored
in separate chambers of the ampoule or surgical device. These additives
can include drugs, image enhancing agents, necrosing agents, sclerosing
agents, and the like.
