Abstract:
A surgical applicator system, comprising:an applicator device includinga hollow tube having proximal and distal ends;at least one nozzle having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end being removably and replaceably attachable to the distal end of the hollow tube and the distal end of the nozzle having a geometry that is effective to apply a fluid contained in the hollow tube during a surgical procedure;a plunger rod removably and replaceably matable within the hollow tube and effective to reciprocate selectively within the hollow tube to eject the fluid contained in the hollow tube through the at least one nozzle; andan acetabular cup having at least one opening formed therein, the geometry of the nozzle distal end being effective to engage the at least one opening for applying the fluid therethrough to fill a void at an interface of the acetabular cup and bone after implantation of the cup.
