Abstract:
1. An applicator assembly comprising: a body having a proximal end portion, a distal end portion, and a release mechanism; a container having a closed proximal end, an interior, an open distal end, and a sidewall, wherein the container is interoperable with the proximal end portion; a material bonded to the open distal end and sealing the interior of the container; and an application member attached to the distal end portion, wherein the body, the container, and the release mechanism are configured to cooperate to cause deformation of at least a portion of the sidewall of the container, wherein the deformation of the at least a portion of the sidewall of the container ruptures the bond of the material such that the interior of the container is placed in fluid communication with the application member, and wherein the cooperation of the body, the container, and the release mechanism causes the deformation in response to an activation force applied longitudinally against the proximal end of the container.
