1. A delivery device for delivering compositions or medical articles to a patient, the delivery device comprising:
a rotatable magazine defining:
a central lumen that extends through the rotatable magazine; and
a plurality of chambers disposed around the central lumen;
a frame comprising a proximal channel, a distal channel, and a connecting region disposed between the proximal channel and the distal channel; and
an elongate shaft that both extends through the central lumen of the rotatable magazine and is coupled to the frame;
wherein rotation of the rotatable magazine about the elongate shaft causes the delivery device to transition from a first configuration in which a first chamber of the plurality of chambers is aligned with both the proximal channel and the distal channel to a second configuration in which a second chamber of the plurality of chambers is aligned with both the proximal channel and the distal channel; and
wherein each chamber of the plurality of chambers includes a primary channel and a bypass channel, wherein the bypass channel provides a fluid flow path around the primary channel.
