The application relates to a device for applying a bead of material. The device comprises a flexible nozzle body which defines a flow-through volume through which a material can flow for the bead of material, which is at least partially delimited by a walling formed by the nozzle body, having a feed opening for feeding the material into the flow-through volume. The nozzle body defines a mouth region through which the material can exit from the volume. Furthermore, the device comprises an actuator system, which is arranged on the nozzle body and is set up to change a cross section of the mouth region while deforming the nozzle body. The walling forms a barrier between the flow-through volume and the actuator system. The application further relates to a method for using the device.
