A surgical apparatus is provided including a disposable loading unit selectively operatively engagable within a distal end of a first half-section; and a wound treatment material applicator assembly for delivering wound treatment material to the target surgical site. The disposable loading unit includes a cartridge; a plurality of deployable needles supported within the cartridge, wherein each needle includes a lumen extending therethrough and at least one hole formed in an outer periphery thereof; and an actuation member translatably disposed within the cartridge for delivering a driving force to each needle to deploy the needles from the cartridge. The applicator assembly includes a first and second reservoir supported on the distal end of a respective first and second half-section; and a source of wound treatment material in fluid communication with each reservoir.

What is claimed is: 1. A surgical apparatus, comprising:a first half-section having a distal end and a proximal end, the first half-section being adapted to receive a disposable loading unit in the distal end thereof;a second half-section in juxtaposed relation to the first half-section, the second half-section having a distal end and a proximal end;a disposable loading unit selectively operatively engagable with the distal end of the first half-section, the disposable loading unit including:a cartridge;a plurality of deployable needles supported within the cartridge, wherein each needle includes a lumen extending therethrough, and at least one hole formed in an outer periphery thereof for radially dispensing a fluid;a needle pusher in operative association with each needle for sequentially deploying each needle from the cartridge and into a target tissue; andan actuation member translatably disposed within the cartridge for delivering a driving force to each needle pusher to deploy the needles from the cartridge; anda wound treatment material applicator assembly for delivering a wound treatment material to the target surgical site, the applicator assembly including:a respective reservoir supported on an outer periphery of the distal end of each of the first and second half-sections, wherein the wound treatment material is disposed within each reservoir and at least one of the reservoirs is in direct fluid communication with the plurality of deployable needles.
