Abstract
A dispensing tip for e.g. a syringe dispensing an adhesive tissue sealant, having two rigid sections connected together by a flexible section. Preferably, although bendable, the flexible section has enough resilience that in the absence of external force the two rigid sections are held at a predictable angle to one another. In this way manual dispensing into hard to reach places during surgery is facilitated. This flexibility also facilitates use of the dispensing tip with a cannula.
