Abstract:
1. A remotely-activated device for injecting a bone cement into a patient, comprising: a pump defining an injection chamber having an exit opening, the pump having a bone cement for injection being located in the injection chamber, and a piston for driving the bone cement for injection through the exit opening; a hollow bone needle extending from the exit opening for transferring the bone cement for injection directly to a patient; a remote actuator, separate from the pump, and including a base and a lever, the lever having a first portion pivotally-connected to the base; and a housing connecting the actuator to the pump across a distance; whereby pivotal movements of the lever apply a force across the distance through the housing to cause responsive movement of the piston to drive the bone cement for remote injection through the exit opening; wherein the distance is at least about one foot.
