Patent ID: 10722855

Abstract:
A storage and mixing device for two-component polymethyl methacrylate bone cements having a cylindrical interior of a cartridge that is delimited on a front side by a cartridge head, a plunger arranged to be axially movable in the cylindrical interior of the cartridge and spaced from the cartridge head, a powdery first parent component of the bone cement, that is contained in the interior between the plunger and the cartridge head, a feed-through arranged in the cartridge head or in the cylinder barrel of the cartridge between the plunger and the cartridge head. The feed-through is connectable to a fluid line, a receptacle for a monomer liquid, wherein the fluid line connects the feed-through to the receptacle in a liquid-permeable manner, and a press-out device pushable into the receptacle, so that monomer liquid is pressable out of the receptacle into the fluid line. The plunger (2) is spaced from a back side of the cylindrical interior, located opposite the front side, so that, by moving the plunger in the direction of the back side, the press-out device is pushable into the receptacle and a reduced pressure is producible in the interior of the cartridge between the plunger and the cartridge head.
