A hand-held dispensing applicator comprising a source of fluid, a frangible applicator tip attached to the fluid source, and an absorbent member attached to the frangible applicator tip. When the frangible applicator tip is broken, fluid flows from the source to the absorbent member, whereby the fluid is applied and spread on a surface. Preferably, the frangible applicator tip comprises a support element permanently connected to the fluid source, a relatively rigid tongue element extending outwardly of the support element, and a frangible region therebetween. Preferably, the tongue element comprises ribs for reinforcing the tongue element to resist unintentional breaking of the frangible region, and the applicator tip comprises a semi-permeable or non-permeable cover disposed around the frangible region to control the speed and direction of the dispersion of the fluid in the absorbent member. Adaptive embodiments allow the generation of designs applicable to a particular medical purpose.

1. A hand-held fluid dispensing applicator, said applicator comprising: (a) a fluid source for containing a fluid, said fluid source having a closed distal end and a proximal end for allowing a liquid to be dispensed therethrough during a use;(b) a tongue member;(c) an attachment portion for connection with said proximal end, said attachment portion having a fracture region at a region of intersection of said tongue and said attachment portion;(d) a fluid dispersing member for applying said liquid to a surface;and(e) said tongue member extending outwardly from said fracture region of said attachment portion into said fluid dispersing member; and(f) a cover including a pair of flanks configured to direct flow of said fluid toward a predetermined portion of said fluid dispersing member for application to a surface;wherein upon fracture of said attachment portion at said fracture region said fluid dispersing member becomes in fluid communication with said fluid source. 2. The applicator according to claim 1, wherein said tongue member comprises one or more strengthening ribs. 3. The applicator according to claim 1, further comprising a bottom juxtaposed with a base of said fluid dispersing member, wherein the pair of flanks converge towards a distal end of said fluid dispersing member and having free ends, said free ends being spaced apart and terminating at a distance from said distal end so as to allow said liquid to propagate across said fluid dispersing member in a vicinity of said distal end of said fluid dispersing member. 4. The applicator according to claim 1, wherein said tongue member is flexible. 5. The applicator according to claim 1, wherein said tongue member is rigid. 6. The applicator according to claim 1, wherein said liquid through said attachment portion is restricted because of a reduction in interior diameter of said attachment portion relative to said liquid source. 7. The applicator according to claim 1, further comprising a bottom portion configured so as to sealingly surround an outlet port of said attachment portion. 8. The applicator according to claim 1, wherein said applicator further comprises an absorbent swab separate from said fluid dispersing member. 9. The applicator according to claim 1, further comprising a fluid guide member, wherein said fluid guide member is formed from a fluid-resistant material selected from the group consisting of natural rubber, synthetic rubber, thermoplastic, cellulosic material, fiber, and metal. 10. The applicator according to claim 1, further comprises a semi-permeable or non-permeable cover substantially surrounding said tongue member to control direction of said fluid flow. 11. A liquid dispensing applicator, said applicator comprising: (a) a handle including liquid source body having a distal end and a proximal end; and(b) liquid dispenser for allowing a liquid to be dispensed through said proximal end, said liquid dispenser comprising:(i) an attachment portion for insertion into said proximal end of said body to secure said liquid dispenser to said body;(ii) an attachment portion mounted on an attachment member to provide a means of keeping said attachment portion seated within said proximal end;(iii) a tongue element extending outwardly from said attachment portion; and(iv) a cover for guiding a flow of said fluid toward a predetermined portion of an absorbent application member;wherein upon fracture of a region between said tongue element and said attachment portion said liquid source becomes in fluid communication with said absorbent application member;wherein said attachment portion has a passage therethrough to allow said liquid to pass from said liquid source through said attachment portion,wherein said attachment portion has a passage therethrough to allow fluid to pass from said attachment member through said attachment portion, andwherein said tongue element caps said passage. 12. The applicator according to claim 11, wherein said tongue element comprises one or more strengthening ribs. 13. The applicator according to claim 11, wherein the cover comprises one or more protuberances to minimize movement of said cover within said fluid dispersing member. 14. The applicator according to claim 11, wherein said tongue element is flexible. 15. The applicator according to claim 11, wherein said tongue element is rigid. 16. The applicator according to claim 11, further comprising an absorbent swab separate from said absorbent application member. 17. The applicator according to claim 11, wherein each said cover is a semi-permeable or non-permeable cover substantially surrounding said tongue member to control direction of said liquid flow. 18. The applicator according to claim 11, wherein the cover is formed from a fluid-resistant material selected from the group consisting of natural rubber, synthetic rubber, thermoplastic, cellulosic material, fiber, and metal.
