A device for dispensing a material includes a reservoir for the material and an outlet channel connectable thereto. The reservoir has a tubular body partially filled with pressurized gas and partially filled with the material to be dispensed. One end of the tubular body is welded shut and an opposite end is closed by a sealing member extending over at least part of a cross-sectional area of the tubular body. The sealing member is arranged in a sleeve connected to the end of the tubular body opposite the welded end thereof. The sealing member has a pierceable diaphragm and the device may further comprise a piercing member. The sealing member can include a movable valve or can be removably fixed inside the tubular body and the device can include an operating member. The tubular body and the piercing member or operating member, respectively, may be movable towards each other.

Provided is an adapter for connection to a spray can dispensing an oil-containing aerosol. The adapter comprises a timepiece configured to measure a predetermined time interval, the starting point of the time measurement being defined by the start of a spraying process of the spray can; and an indicating element configured to indicate to the user, once the predetermined time interval has expired, to end the spraying process. Also provided is a method for manually reprocessing a medical device.
