A method and apparatus for dispensing a relatively viscous composition to a wound site at a location within a mammalian body requiring a relatively long and thin catheter for access includes filling a distal tip of the catheter with the composition, directing the distal tip to the wound site, dispensing the composition onto the wound site and then inflating a balloon against the applied composition to enable same to congeal enough so that the composition remains fixed to the wound site after the catheter is removed from the body. In an embodiment the balloon is secured to the catheter such that when air is applied through the catheter to the balloon, the balloon expands longitudinally and distally past a distal end of the catheter.

L~invention concerne une méthode et un appareil pour distribuer une composition relativement visqueuse au site d~une blessure en un point d~un corps mammifère qui nécessite un cathéter d~accès relativement long et mince. Ladite méthode consiste à remplir une pointe distale du cathéter avec la composition, à diriger la pointe distale au site de la blessure, à distribuer la composition sur le site de la blessure et ensuite à gonfler un ballon contre la composition appliquée pour lui permettre de se figer suffisamment afin que la composition reste attachée au site de la blessure une fois le cathéter retiré du corps. Dans une représentation le ballon est arrimé au cathéter de façon à ce que lorsque de l'air est appliqué par le cathéter au ballon, ledit ballon se développe longitudinalement et distallement au-delà d~une extrémité distale du cathéter.
