Applicator for robotic assisted surgery

The present disclosure relates to a laparoscopic applicator for dispensing a substance (e.g., a substance containing a hemostatic agent) at a selected site by a surgical robotic arm, the laparoscopic applicator comprising a delivery tube; and an applicator tip connected to the distal end of the delivery tube, wherein the applicator tip is configured to be controllably operated by the robotic arm through a grip section in axial extension of the delivery tube, the grip section having a periphery transverse to the axis, including a vertex-shaped section such that the grip section is configured to be gripped and spatially manipulated by the robotic arm.
