A device and method for producing a bone cement paste from a monomer liquid and a cement powder, wherein the device comprises a cartridge with a cylindrical interior chamber for mixing the parent components, whereby the interior chamber of the cartridge is closed on the front side up to a delivery opening for expelling the bone cement paste from the interior chamber, a delivery plunger which is arranged in the interior chamber of the cartridge and which is supported in a linearly movable manner in the direction of the delivery opening, the cement powder, which is arranged in the interior chamber of the cartridge between the delivery opening and the delivery plunger, a monomer receptacle with an interior chamber in which a monomer liquid container containing the monomer liquid is contained, whereby in the monomer receptacle, a conveying plunger is arranged movable in the longitudinal direction of the monomer receptacle, a compressed gas connection, whereby the conveying plunger is arranged between the monomer liquid container and the compressed gas connection or the compressed gas line in the monomer receptacle.

A device for providing a bone cement dough from two starting components, comprising a hollow cylindrical cartridge with an interior space, wherein a bone cement powder as the first starting component is stored in a proximal part of the interior space, and at least two pouches containing a monomer liquid as a second starting component are stored in a distal part of the interior space, wherein a dispensing plunger axially movable in the interior space is arranged between the bone cement powder and the at least two pouches, and a delivery plunger axially movable in the interior space is arranged on a side of the at least two pouches that is axially opposite the dispensing plunger, wherein the proximal part and the distal part of the interior space are fluidically connected to one another via a conduit means.

A system is disclosed for producing a mixture to deliver to a treatment site. The system can include a first chamber with an inner cavity including a first constituent and an outer cavity concentric with the first cavity and including a second constituent. A partition can be openable and separate the first and second cavities. A second chamber can include a third constituent and be concentric with the first chamber. Moving the first chamber and/or the second chamber relative to the other can cause the partition to open so that the first constituent and the second constituent mix with each other to form a first mixture. Applying a force to the system can cause the first mixture and the third constituent to egress through distal portions of the first and second chambers and mix together to form the mixture for delivery to the treatment site.

One embodiment relates to a device for the production of a bone cement dough from a monomer liquid and a cement powder comprising a cartridge with an internal space; a cartridge head with a dispensing opening; a conveying plunger that is arranged in the internal space of the cartridge and is supported in the internal space of the cartridge such that it is pushable in the direction of the dispensing opening; a dispensing plunger between the dispensing opening and the conveying plunger that is supported in the internal space of the cartridge such that it is pushable in the direction of the dispensing opening; a first hollow space, in which the cement powder is arranged; a second hollow space that is bordered by the dispensing plunger and the conveying plunger; a fluid opening that is arranged in the conveying plunger; a feedthrough that connects the first hollow space and the second hollow space to each other, and a closure means that is arranged on a rear side of the dispensing plunger. The closure means projects away from the dispensing plunger and is situated at a distance from the fluid opening. The fluid opening is closable with the closure means. The closure means is mobile in the closed fluid opening such that the fluid opening stays closed, while the conveying plunger is pushable further in the direction of the dispensing plunger.

A delivery system is provided that includes a device having a body extending along a longitudinal axis between proximal and distal ends. The body includes a proximal chamber, a distal chamber and a wall between the chambers. The body includes a first port in communication with the proximal chamber and a second port in communication with the distal chamber. A shaft is movably positioned within the body. The shaft extends through the wall and includes a proximal plunger positioned within the proximal chamber and a distal plunger positioned within the distal chamber. Pressure introduced through an opening in the proximal end moves the shaft such that the proximal plunger moves a fluid within the proximal chamber out of the first port and the distal plunger moves a fluid within the distal chamber out of the second port to simultaneously actuate a bone filler dispenser. Systems and methods are also provided.

One aspect relates to a device for providing a bone cement from two starting components, having a hollow cylinder-shaped first container, in which a monomer liquid as first starting component can be stored, a hollow cylinder-shaped second container comprising a container wall, a first internal space, and a second internal space, whereby a bone cement powder as second starting component can be stored in the first internal space, and whereby the monomer liquid can be conveyed into the second internal space, a fluid-conducting conveying means arranged between the first internal space and the second internal space, whereby the first container and the second container are axially connected to each other.

One aspect relates to a device for the production of a bone cement dough from a monomer liquid and a cement powder comprising a cartridge with an internal space; a cartridge head with a dispensing opening; a conveying plunger that is supported in the internal space of the cartridge such that it is pushable in the direction of the dispensing opening; a dispensing plunger between the dispensing opening and the conveying plunger that is supported in the internal space of the cartridge such that it is pushable in the direction of the dispensing opening; a first hollow space, in which the cement powder is arranged; a second hollow space that is bordered by the dispensing plunger and the conveying plunger; a rear-side part of the internal space of the cartridge; and a conducting means that connects the second hollow space to the rear-side part of the internal space of the cartridge such as to bypass the conveying plunger and be permeable to the monomer liquid. The conducting means can be closed by the conveying plunger with respect to the second hollow space by shifting the conveying plunger in the direction of the dispensing plunger, and a feedthrough in the dispensing plunger that connects the first hollow space and the second hollow space such as to be permeable to the monomer liquid.

In drug mixing devices of disclosed embodiments, a main flow path extending from one end configured to allow liquid inside the first container to enter the main flow path therethrough to another end configured to allow liquid inside the second container to enter the main flow path therethrough, and a branch flow path branching from the main flow path are formed. The drug mixing device includes a body including a first connection part configured to be coupled with the first container and a second connection part configured to be coupled with the second container, and a backflow prevention part disposed in a partial flow path of the main flow path extending to the one end with reference to the connection point of the main flow path and the branch flow path, the backflow prevention part being configured to prevent liquid from flowing from the connection point to the one end.

Systems for a plastic pump/actuator capable of containing and pumping organic solvents and lubricants and having a more desirable lubricity within the system. The system has at least two cylinders, with plungers therein, oppositely disposed from each other and configured to operably connect to a pump.

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.
