    Abstract: A laparoscopic spray device for selectively applying a multiple component material dispensed from a multiple component material applicator to a surgic al site in vivo is disclosed. The device comprises an interface member capable of engaging a multiple component applicator, a body having at least two lumens therein, and a detachable spray tip in fluid communication with the body. Th e detachable spray tip includes a mixing chamber having at least one flexible mixing member positioned therein which is capable of creating a turbulent fl ow within a mixing chamber. In addition, the at least one mixing member prevent s a back flow of material from the mixing chamber to the at least two lumens. The present invention is particularly useful in remotely applying multiple component tissue adhesives to an internal incision.

    Abstract: A catheter suitable for use in performing peritoneal dialysis. The catheter is a dual lumen catheter which allows for continuous flow peritoneal dialysis. Dialysate flows through the catheter into the patient via one lumen and simultaneously flows through the catheter out of the patient via the second lumen. The dual lumen dialysis catheter has a flexible tube which has an implantable portion extending from an external patient portion. Both of the lumens have openings in the external patient portion for connecting to a supply and drain of dialysate, respectively. The implantable portion has a preformed curved segment which has an outlet for the first lumen to flow dialysate into the patient's peritoneal cavity. The implantable portion has an opening for the second lumen at the distal end to flow dialysate out of the peritoneal cavity and removal from the patient. The catheter facilitates mixing of fresh and spent dialysate inside the peritoneal cavity by inflowin g fresh dialysate into the cavity at a location substantially separated from t he cavity outflow location, and by directing the inflow of dialysate into the cavity opposite the cavity outflow location.
