Mixing device and applicator for sealants formed by a main body and a handle (1), wherein the main body comprises a container-carrying sheath (7), a rotating cylinder (14), a gear module (11) that can be coupled to a rotor and a set of mechanisms that eject the sealant material. By actuating a trigger (2), a speed regulator (3) and a rotation selector (4) present in the handle (1) in a first action the cylinder (11) rotates in one sense mixing the material and in a second action it changes the sense of rotation and by actuating a cylinder locking system (19 and 20) present in the main body the device ejects the sealant material.

A device for mixing and dispensing a flowable material or mixture of materials, the device comprising a cup having a bottom with a protrusion having an opening; a plunger having a dispensing port and air vent holes; a plug; a nozzle; and, a lid. The plug can be associated with and plug the cup protrusion opening when the cup is being filled or mixed, or the plug can be associated with the plunger port to seal off the air vent holes when material is dispensed from the device. Also disclosed is a method of mixing and dispensing a flowable material.

A device and methods mix polymethylmethacrylate bone cement and/or store the starting components of the bone cement. The device comprising: a cartridge with an internal space for mixing the bone cement that is closed on one side by means of a mobile dispensing plunger; a monomer container for a monomer liquid and/or a connector for attachment of a monomer container for a monomer liquid such that the monomer container can be opened appropriately in the device such that the monomer liquid flows from the monomer container into the device; a connecting conduit through which the monomer liquid can be guided into the internal space of the cartridge. A first hollow cylinder is connected to the connecting conduit and a second hollow cylinder is connected, via a vacuum conduit, to the internal space of the cartridge, whereby a pumping plunger is shiftable axially in the first hollow cylinder and is arranged in the first hollow cylinder and a vacuum plunger that is shiftable axially in the second hollow cylinder is arranged in the second hollow cylinder, whereby the pumping plunger and the vacuum plunger may be moved simultaneously.

Devices and methods manually open glass ampules within the devices. One device may include a holder having at least one deformable side wall, a supporting element, and at least one strainer/filter arranged below the holder so that the content of the opened glass ampule may flows therethrough. A first lever of the device may pivot around a first axis and a free end of the first lever may be pressed against the deformable side wall of the holder. A second lever of the device may pivot around a second axis that may divide the second lever into a short lever arm and a long lever arm. The short lever arm may be pressed against the first lever and a glass ampule may be broken open by pressure of the free end of the first lever.

A device for mixing a bone material with a liquid is provided. The device comprises a chamber having a proximal end and a distal end, and the bone material disposed within the chamber, the bone material comprising a coherent mass of milled and lyophilized demineralized bone fibers; and a plunger having at least a portion slidably disposed within the proximal end of the chamber and configured to dispense the bone material mixed with liquid from the distal end of the chamber, when the plunger is in an extended position.

A system and method for mud mixing using a container to hold a joint compound and the water. The container having a lid to keep the container shut and preventing the liquids from escaping wherein the container may then be shaken by the user to mix the joint compound with the water. The user then may remove lid and pull on a rod and plate connected to one another at the bottom of holding container. Rod and plate act as a pressure seal, whereby when the rod is pulled all of the mud may be removed from the container and placed into a pan for use.

A bone material for hydration with a liquid is provided, the bone material comprising a coherent mass of milled and demineralized bone fibers, the coherent mass having no binder disposed in or on the coherent mass. In some embodiments, a bone material for hydration with a liquid is provided, the bone material comprising a coherent mass of cartridge milled, lyophilized and demineralized bone fibers, the coherent mass having no binder on the coherent mass. In some embodiments, a method of implanting a bone material is provided, the method comprising contacting the bone material with a liquid, the bone material comprising a coherent mass of cartridge milled, lyophilized and demineralized bone fibers, the coherent mass having no binder disposed in or on the coherent mass; molding the bone material into a shape to implant the bone material; and implanting the bone material at the target tissue site.

According to one example, a valve for an apparatus configured to mix bone cement is disclosed. The valve can include a base defining a first portion of a passage. The passage can be configured to allow a component of the bone cement through the valve. The valve can include a projection extending from the base to a base opposing end and forming a second portion of the passage that communicates with the first portion. The projection can have a frustoconically shaped surface that comprises one of an outer surface or an inner surface that forms a part of the second portion of the passage.
