1. A dual syringe adapter for attachment to and use with a pair of side-by-side syringes, said dual syringe adapter comprising:
a unitary structure having three initially interconnected portions including a plunger head portion, a syringe body portion and a separable connecting portion positioned between the plunger head portion and the syringe body portion, said separable connecting portion including a pair of tip-receiving sleeves and a flow-dispensing cavity, wherein in its initial unseparated condition, the separable connecting portion functions as a blocking element and prevents any significant reduction in the spacing between said plunger head portion and said syringe body portion and when separated from said unitary structure, said separable connecting portion is constructed and arranged to fit onto the dispensing tips of the side-by-side syringes such that any material dispensed from either syringe flows into said dispensing cavity.
