A device for collecting and processing bone fragments, said device comprising: a housing including a distal end, a proximal end, and an outer wall having an inner surface extending between the distal and proximal ends; a filter element at least partially disposed within the housing, the filter element having: a first end; a second end, the first end positioned closer to the distal end of the housing than the second end; a side wall joining the first end and the second end, the side wall defining an inner peripheral surface and an outer peripheral surface, the side wall having a plurality of apertures therein, wherein the inner peripheral surface of the side wall at least partially defines a collection chamber for the collection of a composition comprising bone fragments, and the outer peripheral surface of the side wall and the inner surface of the outer wall are spaced apart from one another to define an exterior radial volume; and a piston moveably disposed within the filter element and movable between a first and a second position (45, 46), in the first position, the piston at least partially defines the collection chamber; an inlet cap configured to receive the composition comprising bone fragments and releasably coupled to either the distal end of the housing or the first end of the filter element, the inlet cap including: a body; an inlet port extending from the body and configured to be coupled to a surgical tool; and a spout extending from the body opposite the inlet port, the spout including an injection port extending beyond the first end of the filter element and into the collection chamber of the filter element; and an outlet cap releasably coupled to the proximal end of the housing, the outlet cap including an outlet port configured to be coupled to a vacuum source. a housing including a distal end, a proximal end, and an outer wall having an inner surface extending between the distal and proximal ends; a filter element at least partially disposed within the housing, the filter element having: a first end; a second end, the first end positioned closer to the distal end of the housing than the second end; a side wall joining the first end and the second end, the side wall defining an inner peripheral surface and an outer peripheral surface, the side wall having a plurality of apertures therein, wherein the inner peripheral surface of the side wall at least partially defines a collection chamber for the collection of a composition comprising bone fragments, and the outer peripheral surface of the side wall and the inner surface of the outer wall are spaced apart from one another to define an exterior radial volume; and a piston moveably disposed within the filter element and movable between a first and a second position (45, 46), in the first position, the piston at least partially defines the collection chamber; a first end; a second end, the first end positioned closer to the distal end of the housing than the second end; a side wall joining the first end and the second end, the side wall defining an inner peripheral surface and an outer peripheral surface, the side wall having a plurality of apertures therein, wherein the inner peripheral surface of the side wall at least partially defines a collection chamber for the collection of a composition comprising bone fragments, and the outer peripheral surface of the side wall and the inner surface of the outer wall are spaced apart from one another to define an exterior radial volume; and a piston moveably disposed within the filter element and movable between a first and a second position (45, 46), in the first position, the piston at least partially defines the collection chamber; an inlet cap configured to receive the composition comprising bone fragments and releasably coupled to either the distal end of the housing or the first end of the filter element, the inlet cap including: a body; an inlet port extending from the body and configured to be coupled to a surgical tool; and a spout extending from the body opposite the inlet port, the spout including an injection port extending beyond the first end of the filter element and into the collection chamber of the filter element; and a body; an inlet port extending from the body and configured to be coupled to a surgical tool; and a spout extending from the body opposite the inlet port, the spout including an injection port extending beyond the first end of the filter element and into the collection chamber of the filter element; and an outlet cap releasably coupled to the proximal end of the housing, the outlet cap including an outlet port configured to be coupled to a vacuum source.
