The present disclosure relates to a container for the production of a foamed sclerosant composition, to kits and systems including such a container, to methods for preparing a foamed sclerosant composition using such containers, and to foamed sclerosant compositions obtainable by such methods. In an aspect, the container comprises a sealed sterile container body having one or more sidewalls extending between a top and a bottom of the container body and defining a foaming space. The container further comprises a mixing element disposed in the container body. The container contains a previously introduced gas and liquid sclerosant composition. The mixing element is configured to be operatively coupled with a rotatable actuator without the actuator reaching the foaming space. A medical professional may select the appropriate quantity and concentration for every treatment.

An apparatus for mixing fluids within a pipe is provided. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a fluid mixing device with a pipe having a pipe wall and an axial bore for conveying fluids through the pipe. The fluid mixing device also includes a sleeve disposed about the pipe and a cavity provided between an exterior surface of the pipe and an interior surface of the sleeve. The cavity and the axial bore of the pipe are in fluid communication with one another via an opening through the pipe wall. Additional systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.

The application relates to a vacuum mixing device for bone cement, where the monomer is pressed into a mixing container due to the surrounding vacuum and a gas volume present in the monomer container.

One aspect relates to a device for mixing a polymethyl methacrylate bone cement formed of two starting components and for storing the starting components of the bone cement. The device has a tubular cartridge with a cylindrical interior. A powder is contained in a front of the cartridge and a container containing a monomer liquid is arranged in a rear of the cartridge. A discharge piston is arranged between the container and the powder, and a conveying piston is on the side of the container opposite the discharge piston. The discharge piston and the conveying piston are arranged in the interior of the cartridge movably in the longitudinal direction. A conduit is provided that connects the front part and the rear part of the interior of the cartridge to one another in a manner permeable for the monomer liquid and for gases and which is impermeable for the powder.

In order to develop mixing and application capsules known from the prior art, so that limitations regarding the dental preparations that can be obtained are overcome, a mixing capsule (22) for producing a dental preparation is proposed in which the mixing capsule (22) has: a capsule body (1) having a mixing chamber for receiving a mixing component and for mixing the dental preparation from the mixing component, a first fluid and a second fluid and having an outlet opening (4) for expelling the dental preparation, a first cavity for receiving the first fluid, a first piston body (2) which delimits the mixing chamber in the capsule body (1) and which has a first passageway for guiding the first fluid from the first cavity into the mixing chamber, a second cavity for receiving the second fluid and a second piston body (2) which delimits the mixing chamber in the capsule body (1) and which has a second passageway for guiding the second fluid from the second cavity into the mixing chamber.

A device and method are provided for storing substances separately, and for mixing the substances prior to use. The device defines at least one first chamber for receiving a first substance, and at least one second chamber for receiving a second substance. A first sealing portion is located between the first and second chambers and is movable between a closed position preventing fluid communication between the chambers, and an open position permitting fluid communication between the first and second chambers for mixing the substances. First and second penetrable and resealable portions in fluid communication with the first and second chamber(s), respectively, may be used for filling by penetrating them with an injection member and introduce the substances therethrough and into the respective chamber, and resealing the injection apertures and the substances within the respective chamber.

An apparatus for mixing bone cement can comprise a receiving chamber, a mixing chamber, a cannula, a base, and a piston located within the mixing chamber. The receiving chamber defining a conduit. The mixing chamber in fluid communication with the receiving chamber. The mixing chamber configured to house a first component of the bone cement. The cannula located in the receiving chamber and in fluid communication with the conduit. The base including a bladder arranged to be punctured by the cannula, the bladder configured to house a second component of the bone cement. Upon puncturing of the bladder by the cannula the second component of the bone cement passes through the conduit and the cannula into the mixing chamber. The piston configured to seal the mixing chamber upon movement of the piston from a first position relative to the conduit to a second position relative to the conduit.

A water bottle system for adding an additive, which may be flavoring, to the line of flow without contaminating the main reservoir. The system may include a water bottle with a lid feature that may maintain a flavor that may be infused into the water within the water bottle. The infusion of the additive may be adjusted by a user to have the desired concentration of additive to a user's liking. The additive cartridge may be reusable or disposable depending on a user's preference.

A mixing assembly, device, system and method for operating are provided which includes a powder assembly holding a first container containing a powder, the powder assembly having a powder dispensing means for dispensing a predetermined quantity of the powder, a liquid assembly holding a second container containing a liquid, the liquid assembly having a liquid dispensing means for dispensing a predetermined amount of the liquid, and a mixing bowl for receiving the predetermined quantity of the powder and the predetermined amount of the liquid.

A drink-attachable mixer dispensing device is provided. The device is comprised of a bottle-attachable adapter and reservoir. The reservoir may house a first liquid that can be mixed with a second liquid within the bottle. After attaching the reservoir to the adapter and attaching the adapter to the bottle, the reservoir can be raised to allow the first liquid to escape the reservoir and adapter and mix with the second liquid within the bottle.
