Abstract:
A manual mixer serves to facilitate mixing and agitating materials for use during surgery. For example, the manual mixer includes a body portion defining an interior area, a mixing assembly provided in the interior area of the body portion, a crank assembly for actuating the mixing assembly, and a valve assembly. The mixing assembly serves to mix and agitate the materials provided in the interior through rotation of a plunger portion and a spring attached thereto, and through upwards and downwards movement of the plunger portion in the interior area. Rotation of the crank assembly serves to rotate the plunger portion and the spring attached thereto, and effectuate upwards and downwards movement of the plunger portion. The valve assembly can be opened to facilitate dispensing of the materials from the interior area.

Claim (Index 9):
A method of mixing and agitating materials using a manual mixer, the method comprising:\n providing the manual mixer having a body portion, a mixing assembly, and a stem portion, the body portion defining an interior area, the mixing assembly being provided in the interior area, and the stem portion being interconnected with a portion of the mixing assembly; removing the mixing assembly from the interior area; providing the materials to be mixed and agitated in the interior area; replacing the mixing assembly in the interior area; and rotating the stem portion to rotate a resilient member of the mixing assembly, and move the plunger portion upwardly or downwardly within the interior area, the rotation of the resilient member, and upwards and/or downwards movement of the plunger portion serving to mix and agitate the materials provided in the interior area, the plunger portion being moveable between a first position and a second position, the first position being a maximum upward position of the plunger portion, and the second position being a maximum downward position of the plunger portion, the resilient member being expanded when the plunger portion is moved upwardly within the interior area toward the first position, and the resilient member being compressed when the plunger portion is moved downwardly within the interior area toward the second position.
