Claim 0:
1. A method of hydrating a bone material with a liquid, the method comprising mixing the liquid with the bone material comprising a coherent mass of milled and lyophilized demineralized bone fibers in a device comprising a first chamber having a proximal end and a distal end, and the bone material disposed within the first chamber; and a first plunger having at least a portion slidably disposed within the proximal end of the first chamber; a second chamber having a proximal end and a distal end, and the liquid disposed within the second chamber, the liquid configured to hydrate the coherent mass of milled and lyophilized demineralized bone fibers; and a second plunger having at least a portion slidably disposed within the proximal end of the second chamber; a connector fluidly coupling the distal end of the first chamber to the distal end of the second chamber, wherein movement of the second plunger to an extended position causes the liquid to flow to hydrate the coherent mass of milled and lyophilized demineralized bone fibers in the first chamber, wherein movement of the second plunger to a retracted position causes a gas to move into the second chamber and mix with the liquid and cause pressure to generate in the second chamber causing the second plunger to move in the extended position to cause fluid to enter the connector and into the first chamber to hydrate the coherent mass of milled and lyophilized demineralized bone fibers in the first chamber.
