Provided is a surgical applicator and applicator tip configured to attach in fluid communication, for the delivery of beneficial fluids. The applicator tip may also be configured to reversibly attach, in fluid communication, with a pledget. For example, the applicator tip may include male or female threads, and the pledget has threads that are complementary to the thread configuration of the tip. The applicator tip may further comprise at least one fluid transfer lumen for transfer of a fluid from the tip to the pledget. In one embodiment of the invention, the tip includes male threads and the pledget includes a pledget attachment portion. There are also provided methods for connecting the tip to the pledget. In one embodiment, a tip comprising male threads is attached to the pledget, comprising a pledget attachment portion, by tapping or pressing the tip into the pledget attachment portion. There are also provided methods of use for the attached tip and pledget, including debridement, tissue translocation, delivery of fluid substances, absorption of fluid substances and combinations thereof. In a particular embodiment, the applicator places a thrombin solution into the attached pledget for delivery of an active hemostatic agent to a tissue site.

The device of claim 1, wherein at least one fluid delivery lumen of the applicator tip is a branched fluid delivery lumen. 3. The device of claim 1, wherein the pledget comprises gelatin, a cotton gauze, a sponge, a plastic, fused gelatin beads, or a combination thereof. 4. The device of claim 1, wherein the pledget comprises biocompatible, bioabsorbable material that, in use, can be left permanently at the surgical site. 5. The device of claim 1, wherein the applicator tip has a diameter of about 5-15 mm. 6. The device of claim 1, wherein the applicator tip has a length of about 10-20 mm. 7. The device of claim 1, wherein the recombinant protein comprising human thrombin comprises 5,000 IU recombinant human thrombin. 8.

The device of claim 1, further comprising a handle configured to connect to the at least two spring arms, such that squeezing the handle retracts the spring arms and allows the flange mount to be released when the interior shaft advances along the distal end of the applicator. 13. A device for delivery of a first fluid and a second fluid to a bleeding surgical site of a human patient, the device comprising: an applicator comprising at least two fluid delivery lumena, the applicator having a proximal end and a distal end;an applicator tip having a proximal end and a distal end and comprising at least two fluid delivery lumena, wherein the applicator tip proximal end is configured to detachably connect to the distal end of the applicator by a semi-pliable flange-mount such that the at least two fluid delivery lumena of the applicator tip are each in fluid communication with the fluid delivery lumen of the applicator; anda fluid-permeable porous matrix pledget configured to deliver fluid when pressed against the surgical site, wherein the pledget is configured to detachably couple to the applicator tip distal end such that the pledget is in fluid communication with the at least two fluid delivery lumena of the applicator tip;wherein the device is configured for minimally invasive, laparoscopic delivery of the fluid;wherein the applicator has a rigidity such that a user can manipulate the proximal end of the applicator to apply an effective amount of pressure with the pledget to the surgical site such that bleeding is reduced concurrently while continuously delivering the first fluid and second fluid when the pledget is pressed against the surgical site;wherein the first fluid and the second delivered from the two delivery lumena mix upon entering the pledget;wherein the applicator further comprises an interior shaft; andwherein the distal end of the applicator comprises at least two spring arms comprising retaining teeth to secure the flange mount. 14. The device of claim 13, wherein at least one fluid delivery lumen of the applicator tip is a branched fluid delivery lumen. 15. The device of claim 13, wherein the pledget comprises gelatin, a cotton gauze, a sponge, a plastic, fused gelatin beads, or a combination thereof. 16.
