Definitions
- This invention relates to a spray head or spray applicator for delivering a plurality of biological fluid agents, each initially contained in separate containers, to a surface in an admixed state, e.g., a fluid delivery system for delivering bioadhesive agents to a biological tissue.
- Fibrin sealants are formed from blood plasma components and typically comprise a first agent containing fibrinogen and Factor XIII and a second agent which usually includes a fibrinogen activator such as thrombin and calcium ions, the two agents being mixed together just prior to use. Fibrin sealants, in effect, mimic the last step of the natural coagulation cascade and are usually commercialized as kits comprising the two main agents. After mixing of the agents, the fibrinogen is proteolytically cleaved by thrombin, and converted into fibrin monomers.
- Factor XIII is also cleaved by thrombin into its activated form which crosslinks the fibrin monomers to form a three-dimensional network that acts as a tissue adhesive or biological adhesive or bioadhesive, and is commonly known as a fibrin clot or fibrin glue.
- the reaction is rapid and typically commences within a few seconds after the components initially contact one another and attains a soft set after several more seconds of contact. As such, proper mixing and delivery of the components is a challenging technical problem.
- the present invention provides a spray head or spray applicator for the delivery of a plurality of biologically reactive fluids, e.g., bioadhesive agents or bioadhesive components, in an admixed state which is simple to produce and to use, and which provides homogeneous mixing of the components therein for spray application to a surface.
- a plurality of biologically reactive fluids e.g., bioadhesive agents or bioadhesive components

- Channels 32 and 34 lead from syringe tips 26 and 28 to and end at mixing chamber 36 which is proximate the exit opening 16.
- channels 32 and 34 are suitably disposed at an acute angle ⁇ to each other (although larger angles are suitably contemplated) and converge at the mixing chamber 36.
- the internal or interior channels of head 10 form, in effect, a Y-shaped configuration in which the arms of the Y are the conduits 32 and 34 and the base or leg is the mixing chamber 36.
- Conduits 32 and 34 provide fluid communication between the syringes and the mixing chamber.
- mixing chamber 36 has a distal end 50, and spray head 10 also includes a connector or conduit 30 for connection to a gas line 53 for a supply (not shown) of sterile gas, e.g., compressed air, nitrogen or carbon dioxide.
- Connector 30 is suitably disposed in spray head 10 at an acute angle ⁇ (although larger angles are suitably contemplated) to bottom 20, i.e., to the substantially planar bottom 20.
- Connector 30 has a gas inlet port 54 and an interior gas supply channel 38.
- Connector 30 conducts gas through head 10 to mixing chamber 36. Gas is delivered into chamber 36 through an exit port 55. Channel 38 ends proximate the distal end 50 of mixing chamber 36.
- an installation strap 52 is provided to facilitate attachment of spray head 10 to syringe tips 26 and 28. Strap 52 is readily detachable and disposable from head 10 if desired.
- the syringes are filled with the component solutions to be mixed.

- the two solutions flow through their respective channels to meet in mixing chamber 36 where the solutions are mixed to form an admixed product or composition.
- the two solutions suitably enter the mixing chamber 36 in separate streams at angle to each other, facilitating mixing the solutions. Gas flow is released via connector 30 and through channel 38 into mixing chamber 36, mixing with the mixed composition.
- the mixed composition is atomized and entrained in the gas flow and emerges from exit opening 16. After a sufficient amount of the mixture composition has been applied to a target surface, the pressure on the plunger 8 is stopped and component flow ceases. Gas, however, can continue to flow along gas channel 38 into the mixing chamber 36 and out exit opening 16, thereby purging any residual coagulating mixture remaining in the mixing chamber.
- Spray head 10 is suitably made of a one-piece or unitary construction.
- Materials for the spray head are not particularly limited but are suitably made of a common synthetic material used in the medical field, such as polyolefin (polyethylene, polypropylene), polyurethane, PNC, ACS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), or polyester, by injection molding or by extrusion or can be made of metal or a combination of polymer and metal, e.g., the housing of the head may be polymeric while the interior channels may be metal.
- Conduits 32 and 34 are suitably made of Teflon TM , polymeric material, metal or the like.
- the source of gas/air can be a line from a remote source or a cartridge attached to head 10 via connector 30.
- the gas is typically actuated in a common manner with component actuation (e.g., syringe actuation) or may have independent gas actuation.
- Fibrinogen and thrombin compositions or solutions are known with varying concentrations and including other ingredients. Fibrinogen or thrombin compositions useful in preparing wound sealants or bioadhesives are suitably used with the spray head of the present invention. Fibrinogen-containing solutions are typically obtained from plasma separated from anticoagulated whole blood by density difference fractionation (e.g., by gravity or centrifugation). Generally, the fibrinogen content of such solutions is between about 2 mg/mL to about 115 mg/mL. Fibrinogen activators such as thrombin are well known and commercially available.
- fibrinogen or fibrinogen activator solutions can be added to the fibrinogen or fibrinogen activator solutions to enhance, facilitate or modify the characteristics of the coagulum, e.g., blood factors such as Factor XIII, a fibrin cross-linking factor.
- additional components include antifibinolytics, platelets, calcium, ground bone and antibiotics.
- the fluid delivery system e.g., the syringe assembly
- the present invention provides a spray head for delivery of a multi- component composition in which the components are mixed just prior to application and a spray of the admixed components is delivered onto a target, e.g., a biological surface.
- a target e.g., a biological surface.
