1. A system for applying sealant to a target tissue of a surgical site, comprising:
- a two-part sealant comprising a first part and a second part;
an apparatus comprising;
a handle;
an end effector in operative association with the handle, the end effector including a first jaw member, a second jaw member, and a sealant-applying structure configured for applying sealant to the target tissue;
the first jaw member being in fluid communication with a first conduit and a second conduit to convey sealant to the sealant-applying structure;
the second jaw member being in fluid communication with a third conduit and a fourth conduit to convey sealant to the sealant-applying structure;
the first and third conduits configured for conveying the first part of the two-part sealant to the sealant-applying structure; and
the second and fourth conduits configured for conveying the second part of the two-part sealant to the sealant-applying structure.

Abstract
An apparatus for applying sealant to a target tissue of a surgical site is provided. The apparatus includes a handle, conduit and an end effector. The handle has means configured and adapted for operating the end effector and dispensing biological sealant to the surgical site via the end effector. The conduit stores and/or carries sealant towards the end effector. The end effector is configured to clamp around a body organ or tissue and apply and confine biological sealant in a substantially uniform manner thereto.

8. A system for applying sealant to a target tissue site, the apparatus comprising:
-
a two-part sealant comprising a first part and a second part; and an apparatus comprising; an end effector including a first jaw member and a second jaw member, the first jaw member and the second jaw member including opposed surfaces each having a radius of curvature extending transverse to a longitudinal axis thereof, such that the first and second jaw members define a space for receiving a luminal organ therebetween when the jaw members are in an approximated position; the first jaw member being in fluid communication with a first conduit and a second conduit to convey sealant to the end effector; the second jaw member being in fluid communication with a third conduit and a fourth conduit to convey sealant to the end effector; the first and third conduits configured for conveying the first part of the two-part sealant to the end effector for dispensing onto the target tissue site; and the second and fourth conduits configured for conveying the second part of the two-part sealant to the end effector for dispensing onto the target tissue site. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)
