Fibrin delivery device and method for forming fibrin on a surface
First Claim
1. A medical device for delivering volumetric quantities of a first and second biochemically active fluid comprising:
- a first container being adapted to contain the first biochemically reactive fluid and having a first fluid channel;
a second container being adapted to contain the second biochemically reactive fluid and having a second fluid channel;

Abstract
This invention provides a medical device for delivering volumetric quantities of a first and a second biochemically reactive fluid comprising a first container having an opening, the first container being adapted to contain the first biochemically reactive fluid; a second container having a second fluid opening adjacent the first fluid opening, the second container being adapted to contain the second biochemically reactive fluid; a spray unit for separately atomizing the first and second biochemically reactive fluids into an aerosol with at least one energy source of a liquid energy, a mechanical energy, a vibration energy, and an electric energy; a fluid pressurizer for pressurizing the first and the second biochemically reactive fluids for delivery under pressure through the spray unit onto a surface; and wherein the first and second biochemically reactive fluids first mix on the surface.
