1. An applicator for applying a multi-component bio-material, comprising:
- a first container extending along a first axis to selectively contain and disburse a first component;
a second container extending along a second axis to selectively contain and disburse a second component;
a container holder operable to hold and orient said first container and said second container and a pistol grip handle graspable by a user;
a first conduit extending along said first axis and immediately from said first container; and
a second conduit extending along said second axis and immediately from said second container;
wherein the first component disposed in said first container is expressed through said first conduit; and
wherein the second component disposed in said second container is expressed through said second conduit.

Abstract
An applicator for applying a multi-component bio-material including at least two containers. Both containers are held in a structure or oriented in a structure such that material contained in the containers can be expressed from oriented outlets simultaneously. The applicator includes a graspable member which allows the material to be expressed from all containers of the applicator substantially simultaneously. The applicator may be constructed such that a pre-selected and substantially different volume is expressed from each of the containers substantially simultaneously.

17. An applicator for applying at least one component of a multi-component bio material, comprising:
-
a single member comprising a first container extending along a first axis and a second container extending along a second axis; a first conduit integrally formed with said first container and extending along said first axis; and a second conduit formed substantially integrally with said second container and extending along said second axis; a graspable member operably associated with said first container, said second container; and an expressing member to express material from said first container, said second container, or both; wherein said first container contains a first biological material and said second container containing a second material may each simultaneously express the respective materials at a selected time; wherein the first material contained within said first container is expressed through said first conduit and the second material contained within said second container is expressed through said second conduit; wherein said graspable member and said expressing member are associated with said first container and said second container such that material disposed within said first container and said second container is selectively expressed substantially simultaneously. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A method of applying a multi-component bio-material to a selected area and at a selected volume with an applicator including a containing area for each of the components of the multi-component material, wherein the applicator includes a conduit acting as an outlet and an inlet for the respective containers, the method comprising:
-
supplying at least a first material to a first container and a second material to a second container, wherein supplying the material includes; interconnecting a first supply with said first container through a first conduit; interconnecting a second supply with said second container through a second conduit; filling said first and second container with material from said first and second supply; interconnecting said first supply with said first container by providing a first connector operable to connect to said first conduit, and providing a supply line a between the said first supply and said first connector; and interconnecting said second supply with said second container by providing a second connector operable to connect to said second conduit, and providing a supply line between the said second supply and said second connector; supplying a graspable member operably associated with said first container and said second container to allow easy expressing of the first material from said first container and the second material from said second container, wherein the graspable member is a pistol grip; and selectively expressing the material from the first and second containers substantially simultaneously to a selected area; wherein the material may be selectively supplied at a selected rate from each of said first and second containers. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)

33. An applicator for applying a multi-component bio-material, comprising:
-
a first container extending along a first axis operable to selectively contain and express a first component; a second container extending along a second axis operable to selectively contain and express a second component; a container holder operable to hold and orient said first container and said second container; a direct expressing system operable to allow the substantially simultaneous expression of the first component and the second component upon receiving direct engagement from a user; and a graspable member extending a distance along a third axis that is different than the first axis or the second axis and from said container holder; wherein a user is able to grasp said graspable member with a first hand and engage said expressing system with the first hand.
