US Classification:

604 89, 604 82, 604187

Abstract:

A syringe includes a first fluid conduit and a second fluid conduit. The first fluid conduit includes two chambers for accommodating two substances of a plurality of substances. The second fluid conduit is disposed adjacent the first fluid conduit and has a chamber for accommodating one substance of the plurality of substances. The syringe may include a third fluid conduit. Each substance is intermixable to form a discharge material upon advancement of a plunger operably associated with each fluid conduit. The discharge material is defined by the intermixed composition of predetermined volumes of the substances the fluid conduits. The discharge material may be a hydrogel. A connecting tip may be operably associated with each fluid conduit. A syringe may include an end cap disposed on the end of each of the fluid conduits. The end cap may have a venting feature for enabling gas venting while preventing discharge until desired.
