Definitions
- the present invention relates to a dispenser such as an adhesive applicator device, in particular, an adhesive applicator device for applying/dispensing a polymerizable adhesive composition.
- Monomer and polymer adhesives are used in both industrial (including household) and medical applications. Included among these adhesives are the 1,1- disubstituted ethylene monomers and polymers, such as the ⁇ -cyanoacrylates. Since the discovery of the adhesive properties of such monomers and polymers, they have found wide use due to the speed with which they cure, the strength of the resulting bond formed, and their relative ease of use. These characteristics have made the ⁇ - cyanoacrylate adhesives the primary choice for numerous applications such as bonding plastics, rubbers, glass, metals, wood, and, more recently, biological tissues.
- Medical applications of 1,1 -disubstituted ethylene adhesive compositions include use as an alternate or an adjunct to surgical sutures and/or staples in wound closure, as well as for covering and protecting surface wounds such as lacerations, abrasions, burns, stomatitis, sores, minor cuts and scrapes, and other wounds.
- an adhesive When an adhesive is applied to surfaces to be joined, it is usually applied in its monomelic form, and the resultant polymerization gives rise to the desired adhesive bond.
- the adhesive or sealant material in its monomelic form, and due to the rapid polymerization rate of the monomers, it has been very difficult to design effective and commercially viable applicators and/or dispensers.
- Such applicators and/or dispensers must balance the competing requirements that the monomer not prematurely polymerize, that the monomer be easily applied, that the monomer polymerize at a desired rate upon application, and that the sanitary and/or sterile properties of the monomer and applicator be maintained.
- Problems with known applicators and/or dispensers include, for example, the adhesive or sealant material being fed from the applicator device by gravity only. Such gravity feed methods may not allow for desired control over the flow of the adhesive or sealant material from the applicator device during use.
- known applicators/dispensers may not allow for fine control over and placement of the adhesive or sealant material at the time of use.
- applicators and dispensers that permit economical and efficient use of adhesive or sealant compositions.
- applicators and/or dispensers are provided that are user friendly.

- the polymerization initiator or rate modifier loaded on the flexible material may provide a number of advantages for example, the tailoring of the setting or polymerization time of the applied polymerizable adhesive composition. For example, the type and/or concentration of initiator that is applied to the flexible material may be selected so as to provide faster or slower polymerization time. The concentration of polymerization initiator or rate modifier may be increased to provide a faster polymerization time, or may be decreased to provide a slower polymerization time.
- the applicator device containing the polymerizable adhesive composition may avoid or eliminate becoming plugged and unusable by polymerizable adhesive composition polymerizing in an applicator tip. This may allow a longer working time, where the polymerizable monomer composition may be more precisely and carefully applied over a longer period of time.
- the flexible material may trap or act as a barrier to flow of the polymerizable adhesive composition during application, therefore there may be less running of the adhesive composition away from the application site.

- porous is meant herein either that the bulk of the flexible material has pores, such that the subsequently applied polymerizable adhesive material is soaked up or absorbed by the bulk material, or that the bulk of the flexible material has voids (like a net or screen), such that the subsequently applied polymerizable adhesive material passes directly through the bulk material, with or without being soaked up or absorbed by the bulk material.
- voids like a net or screen
- the applied adhesive composition permeates and passes through interstices between the fibers, but does not necessarily pass into and through the fibers themselves.
- Such porosity will also allow a polymerization initiator or rate modifier to be loaded on the flexible material prior to use, to initiate the subsequently applied polymerizable adhesive material.
- Such porosity will also preferably allow air and water to pass through the flexible material (either through pores per se, or through voids in the bulk material).
- porosity of the flexible material or ability of air and water to permeate through the flexible material may be tailored to either remain after a final composite material is formed, or to be absent therefrom.
