FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to surgery, and may be used during operative interventions. A device is used for application of an adhesive composition on a local area of the operative intervention. The device comprises a handle with a button. Inside the handle, there is an ampoule with the adhesive composition and a pricker. The pricker has a point for ampoule punching on one end. A pusher incorporates a fixed portion of a hollow thin tube through which the adhesive composition is supplied from the ampoule. A cap which covers the tube and the pricker is put on the handle end. The device is held by one hand, while the other hand removes a cap; thereafter the handle tip with the pricker is embraced that is followed by single-step pulling back for perforation of the ampoule with the adhesive composition. Then the second hand is taken back; the device is guided by the hollow thin tube to a point of required adhesion introduction; the button is pressed, and the adhesive composition is applied.
