The device consists of a Y-connector, a malleable shaft, and three spray tip assemblies. It is intended for use by clinicians in a surgical setting. By allowing the simultaneous application of two solutions, the device facilitates surgical procedures requiring the combination of materials at the site of application. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Biocompatibility and in vitro bench testing data were provided to support substantial equivalence. ## Technological Characteristics The device comprises a Y-connector, a malleable shaft, and three spray tip assemblies. It functions as a manual piston syringe accessory (21 CFR 880.5860). No energy source or software is utilized. ## Regulatory Identification A piston syringe is a device intended for medical purposes that consists of a calibrated hollow barrel and a movable plunger. At one end of the barrel there is a male connector (nozzle) for fitting the female connector (hub) of a hypodermic single lumen needle.
