Patent ID: 8840614

Claim:
A bone graft system, comprising: a container collecting bone graft material including an inner sleeve and an outer sleeve, the inner sleeve extending longitudinally from a proximal end to a distal end and the outer sleeve surrounding the inner sleeve and extending from a proximal end to a distal end such that a bone graft collecting space is formed therebetween; and a bone graft collection device, including: a flow directing element including a shaft sized for insertion into the lumen of the inner sleeve to direct a flow of the bone graft material toward the bone graft collecting space between the inner and outer sleeves; and a canister for housing the container and the flow directing element, the canister including a distal end attachable to a suctioning device such that a suctioning force is applied therethrough to a proximal end via which the bone graft material is suctioned from a target area toward the container, a wall of the canister cooperating with the flow directing element to direct a flow of bone graft material entering the canister into the bone graft collecting space between the inner and outer sleeves.
