A mixing system is disclosed in which the system comprises a source of bone-graft or bone-graft-substitute material, a liquid source, and a vacuum source, at least one of the source of bone-graft or bone-graft-substitute material and the liquid source being in communication with the vacuum source. A valve assembly also forms part of the system, the valve assembly having a valve movable between a first position in which a first fluid passageway is created between the source of bone-graft or bone-graft-substitute material and the vacuum, and a second position in which a second fluid passageway is created between the source of bone-graft or bone-graft-substitute material and the liquid source, wherein, in the second position, the valve seals off the first fluid passageway, the vacuum source being adapted to generate a negative-pressure environment, relative to atmospheric pressure, within the valve assembly while the valve is in the first position. Methods of utilizing the aforementioned system are also disclosed.

The invention relates to a piston system (1) for use in a homogenizer, comprising a piston (2) that is configured and arranged to make a reciprocating movement in use of the piston system, a cylinder (3) that is configured and arranged to receive and guide at least a first part of the piston, a first supply channel (8) that is configured and arranged to supply a lubricating medium (9) to a portion (10) of the first part of the piston that in use is arranged inside the cylinder, and a second supply channel (13) that is configured and arranged to, in use, supply a cooling medium (14) to a second part of the piston outside the cylinder. Also disclosed is a process for the production of an elastomer agglomerate composition forcing a slurry comprising elastomeric particles through an aperture to obtain the elastomer agglomerate composition using the piston system.

The invention relates to a mixing device having a mixing chamber bounded by an inner surface of a wall, wherein the wall also has a cylindrical outer face, wherein the wall has at least one feed duct which ends on one side with an opening in the cylindrical outer surface of the wall and on the other side with an opening in the inner surface of the wall, wherein the mixing device furthermore has a magazine which has a cylindrical inner surface, the cylinder axis of which is coaxial with cylinder axis of the cylindrical outer surface of the wall, wherein the magazine has a multiplicity of ducts which each extend from in each case one port to in each case one opening in the cylindrical inner surface of the magazine, wherein the magazine and the wall are movable with respect to one another such that the openings of the multiplicity of ducts in the inner surface of the magazine are each able to be connected in a medium-conducting manner to the opening of the at least one feed duct in the outer surface of the wall, wherein the mixing device also has a mixer which is movable in the nixing chamber along the cylinder axis of the outer surface of the wall in order to mix media.

An apparatus and method for hydrating a particulate biomaterial with a liquid biomaterial includes a vacuum device and a valve for withdrawing a gas from the particulate biomaterial and introducing the liquid biomaterial. The valve includes a hub, a valve body, a particulate port, a vacuum port, and a liquid port. The valve body selectively moves between first and second positions. The valve body at least partially defines a first passage and a second passage. The particulate port, the vacuum port, and the liquid port are each configured to fluidly connect to a particulate container, the vacuum device, and the liquid container, respectively. In the first position, the first passage fluidly connects the vacuum port to the particulate port for withdrawing the gas from the particulate container. In the second position, the second passage fluidly connects the liquid port to the particulate port for hydrating the particulate biomaterial.
