Abstract
A syringe system for dispensing or injecting one or more fluids is provided. The syringe system includes a hollow body that retains cartridge(s) and/or syringe(s) each containing a fluid, such as an injectable fluid e.g., a catalyst in one cartridge and a polymer in the other. Upon use for dispensing two fluids, the syringe system mixes the two fluids immediately prior to or concurrently with the dispensing or injecting of the fluids. The syringe system can also be configured to independently dispense a single fluid or immediately dispense multiple fluids sequentially.
