Fluid dispenser
First Claim
1. A tip assembly for use in dispensing a first fluid maintained in a first syringe assembly and a second fluid maintained in a second syringe assembly to a treatment site of a patient, the tip assembly comprising:
- a connecting element defining;
a first chamber configured to be in fluid communication with a first syringe assembly, a second chamber configured to be in fluid communication with a second syringe assembly; and
a tip element including a nozzle and defining;
a first orifice extending from an origin to a terminal end, the origin in fluid communication with the first chamber, a second orifice extending through the nozzle from an origin to a terminal end, the origin of the second orifice in fluid communication with the second chamber, wherein the terminal end of the second orifice is formed in a plane differing from a plane of the terminal end of the first orifice.

10. A method of dispensing two separately maintained fluids to a treatment site of a patient, the method comprising:
-
providing a fluid delivery system including;
a first syringe assembly maintaining a first fluid, a second syringe assembly maintaining a second fluid, a tip element defining;
a first orifice extending to a terminal end, the first orifice in fluid communication with the first syringe assembly, a second orifice extending to a terminal end, the second orifice in fluid communication with the second syringe assembly; and
dispensing a first flow of the first fluid from the terminal end of the first orifice into a second flow of the second fluid from the terminal end of the second orifice, wherein the first and second flows differ in flow type. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
