Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for dispensing a relatively viscous composition to a wound site at a location within a mammalian body requiring a relatively long and thin catheter for access includes filling a distal tip of the catheter with the composition, directing the distal tip to the wound site, dispensing the composition onto the wound site and then inflating a balloon against the applied composition to enable same to congeal enough so that the composition remains fixed to the wound site after the catheter is removed from the body. In an embodiment the balloon is secured to the catheter such that when air is applied through the catheter to the balloon, the balloon expands longitudinally and distally past a distal end of the catheter.
