Abstract
A sealant delivery system includes a syringe assembly having side-by-side syringes and a vial assembly having side-by-side vials. A first vial is aligned with a distal end of a first syringe and has a vial opening at the proximal end thereof that is closed by a first sealing membrane. A second vial is aligned with a distal end of a second syringe and has a second vial opening at the proximal end thereof that is closed by a second sealing membrane. The vial assembly includes a first piercing element moveable between a retracted position and an extended position for piercing the first sealing membrane to provide fluid communication between the first fluid chamber and the first vial, and a second piercing element moveable between a retracted position and an extended position for piercing the second sealing membrane to provide fluid communication between the second fluid chamber and the second vial.
