A hand-held manual device intended to dispense a two-component dental material (e.g., impression material) [not included] from a cartridge directly into the mouth or into another device (e.g., impression tray). It is typically a pistol-like device with a cartridge-plunging mechanism; typically, a dental material mixing nozzle is attached to the distal tip of the cartridge during use. This is a reusable device after appropriate cleaning.
