Abstract
A hand held sprayer mechanism with remotely actuated spray tip. The invention includes a sprayer sub-assembly coupled to a spray head adapter. The sprayer sub-assembly has a fluid chamber with an exit port and means for pressurizing the fluid contained within the chamber to thereby cause displacement of the fluid through the exit stem. The sprayer includes a valve which opens by forcing the exit stem towards the container. The spray head adapter is configured to remotely secure to the exit port and at least partially contain the sprayer sub-assembly. The spray head adapter includes a body, a spray tip and finger ledges extending out from the body and spaced apart from the spray tip a substantial distance. The user can remotely actuate the spray valve and release a spray stream by application of compressive force between the finger ledges and the proximal end of the sprayer sub-assembly extending out from the body of the spray head adapter. The remotely actuated spray tip allows for greater accessibility to ulcerated tissue cavities, reduced infection potential by placing operator's finger tip outside and away from the wound, enhanced precision directional control of atomized particles, spray expulsion in any direction and greatly enhanced shatter resistance of the device.
