be configured to receive the adhesive from a suitable adhesive dispenser for example the dispenser can be a syringe with a plunger that is connectable to proximal end 16 wherein the plunger is used to move the adhesive along the lumen 20 to opening 24 in another example the dispenser can be a tube filled with adhesive that is connected to proximal end 16 and squeezed to move the adhesive along lumen 20 to opening 24 or the tip end 16 can be integral with the adhesive container engagement structure 14 assists in stabilizing tissue to be repaired in particular the engagement structure 14 extends distally beyond the distal end 18 of the cannula 12 and includes a base portion 30 a distal tissue engagement portion 32 and opposed legs 34 and 36 extending from the base portion 30 and positioned on one or either side of cannula 12 base portion 30 is generally planar and configured to engage and stabilize a portion of tissue while adhesive is applied through opening 24 to a portion of tissue to be repaired legs 34 and 36 are coupled to cannula 12 and in one embodiment allow for relative movement between the tissue engagement portion 32 and cannula 12 for example the legs 34 and 36 can be formed with sufficient flexibility to deflect with respect to the tissue engagement portion 32 such that cannula 12 rotates with respect to the tissue engagement portion 32 when a force is applied to the tissue engagement portion 32.
