    Abstract: A control system for use with an apparatus comprising an elongated body defining an interior bore for containing sealant and having proximal and distal ends, a piston movably positioned in the bore, a distal outlet communicating with the bore, a first gas passageway cooperatively associated with the distal outlet and configured to direct gas to create a spray discharge of sealant, and an actuating member cooperatively associated with the piston is described. The system comprises: a control unit (4) comprising a supply valve (V1) and a pressure switch (PS2) for opening and closing the supply valve; and a timing delay control member (PFC1) that is operatively connected to the control unit via the pressure switch (PS2). The control unit is operable upon receipt of a control signal from the apparatus to open the supply valve and activate a flow of gas to the first gas passageway essentially simultaneously with a force being applied to the actuating member to eject sealant from the distal outlet so as to create a spray discharge of sealant. The timing delay control member prevents the pressure switch from closing the supply valve for a predetermined period of time after the applied force is removed from the actuating member to provide a discharge of gas after the user has stopped the ejection of sealant.

    Abstract: A system and method for controllably applying the fluids to a body surface o r cavity is disclosed. These fluids can include tissue adhesives, hemostats, sealants, anti-adhesives, or any other fluid capable of being applied to a body surface or cavity. In one embodiment, the system and method is used to apply components of a tissue adhesive with the aid of pressurized gas. This system comprises a tube (32) having a proximal end and a distal end, at leas t one component lumen (28', 29') and a gas lumen (30') which open at the dista l end of the tube, a component source connected to the component lumen, a sour ce of pressurized gas connected to the gas lumen, a sensor (50, 51) capable of delivering a sensor signal, a switch (37) connected to the source of pressurized gas, and a control system (36) programmed to switch off the pressurized gas supply when the sensor signal corresponds to a predetermined limit value.
