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 configured to hold the substance under pressure; 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 by being spatially manipulated by the robotic arm, and to controllably release the substance from the delivery tube by the robotic arm.
