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 and wherein the piston driver includes a gear mechanism.
