Zusammenfassung:A sealant delivery apparatus for use in a lung access procedure to aid in preventing pneumothorax includes a sealant applicator device and an injection needle assembly. The injection needle assembly has a hub and an elongate hollow stylet. The hub is configured for removable connection to the sealant applicator device. The elongate hollow stylet is configured to facilitate fluid communication with at least one output port of the sealant applicator device to receive a multi-component sealant. The elongate hollow stylet has a proximal portion, a distal portion having a closed distal end, and a plurality of side ports proximal to the closed distal end. The plurality of side ports radially extend from a lumen and through a side wall of the elongate hollow stylet in the distal portion. The plurality of side ports are in fluid communication with the at least one output port of the sealant applicator device.
