Patent ID: 8679072

Claim:
A device for the production of bone regeneration material comprising: a tubular body having a substantially uniform diameter along the entire length of the tubular body, the tubular body capable of receiving through a distal end of the tubular body a biocompatible resorbable open-pore body with a diameter that closely approximates the substantially uniform diameter of the tubular body; a plunger assembly movably disposed within the tubular body, the plunger assembly including a piston engageable with and shaped to slideably extend along an entire length of the tubular body; a head component configured to be removable and engageable with the distal end of the tubular body, the head component having a pierceable and resealable membrane sealed thereon; and a cannula adapter configured to be removable and engageable with the head component and having a cannula disposed thereon in a configuration to cause the cannula to pierce the membrane when the cannula adapter is engaged with the head component and to withdraw from membrane when the cannula adapter is removed from the head component; wherein the cannula and membrane are matched such that upon removal of the cannula adapter from the head component the membrane reseals to foam a substantially airtight chamber defined by the membrane, the tubular body and the plunger.
