Abstract
A device for delivering an incision sealant includes a housing, a seal, and a cannula. The housing at least partially encloses a chamber that holds a quantity of a sealant. The seal is located on one end of the housing and contains the sealant in the chamber. Likewise, a similar seal may be located at the tip end of the fan-shaped cannula. The cannula is fluidly coupled to the chamber, is disposed along an axis, and has a generally fan-shaped end. The generally fan-shaped end has a top surface and an opening for dispensing the sealant. The shape of the generally fan-shaped end is configured to apply sealant to an incision geometry or to conform to the geometry of an eye.
