Needle for application of a glue, in particular a surgical glue, comprising several components which are mixed together immediately prior to use

摘要

This needle (21), which is of the type having the shape of a tube (23) delimiting a channel capable of receiving at one and the same time several syringes and the components of the glue, and of conveying these components in mixture to an orifice (25) for application of the glue, is characterised in that the said tube (23) is made of a material which is: - transparent or translucent, and - capable of being divided or broken. In this way, a user can locate the length of a plug of hardened glue (24) blocking the channel, in the immediate proximity of the application orifice, after an application of glue, and can cut or break the tube (23) at a point situated upstream of this plug, thereby permitting a new application of glue with the same needle (21). The tube (23) can be in particular a tube (23) made of a biocompatible material, such as polyethylene, and, if it is made of a breakable material, it can comprise incipient break lines (43). IMAGE
