There is reservoir in which a therapeutic agent is stored. The therapeutic agent can be selectively mixed with the lavage solution to form a blended solution. The mixing can be performed selectively so as to make it possible to sequentially apply the blended solution or a basic (lavage only) solution. | 03-14-2013 |
20130090661 | DELIVERY GUN FOR DISPENSING BONE BEMENT FROM A CARTRIDGE, THE GUN HAVING A MULTI-LINK LINKAGE AND CAPABLE OF DISPENSING THE CEMENT AT DIFFERENT FLOW RATES - A delivery gun for discharging bone cement from a cartridge that includes a piston. The gun has a casing from which a drive rod and a disk extend. A drive assembly advances the drive rod and disk so that disk displaces the piston causing the discharge of cement. The drive assembly includes plural links that are pivotally connected to a trigger. The links are displaced in response to the manual displacement of a trigger. One of the links is configured to selectively engage the drive rod. When this particular link is engaged with the drive rod and displaced, the drive rod the drive rod is advanced at a first speed. When this link does not is not engaged with the drive rod, the drive rod is advanced by another link at a second speed. | 04-11-2013 |
20130333328 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMPACTING SOLID MEDICAL WASTE - A system for collecting and compressing waste collected in a medical or surgical procedure. The system includes a bag for collecting the waste that is seated on a mobile cart. Once the waste is collected the bag is closed and, while on the cart, transported to a compactor. While on the cart, the bag is compacted. Air in the bag is discharged through a one-way valve fitted to the bag. The one way valve may be attached to a cartridge that is inserted into the bag opening. The air discharged from the bag is filtered prior to discharge into the ambient environment. The filter may be built into the one-way valve. | 12-19-2013 |
20150182685 | MEDICAL/SURGICAL IRRIGATOR THAT IS RELEASEABLY COUPLED TO AND POWERED BY A POWERED SURGICAL TOOL - An irrigator that is powered by a surgical tool capable of driving an implement. The irrigator includes a pump contained in a pump housing adapted for attachment to the tool. The irrigator includes a tip assembly connected to the pump by a flexible supply tube. Thus the tip assembly can be position against tissue against which the irrigating fluid is to be applied without having to likewise position the tool and the pump. | 07-02-2015 |
20150224237 | MOBILE INSTRUMENT ASSEMBLY FOR USE AS PART OF A MEDICAL/SURGICAL WASTE COLLECTION SYSTEM, THE ASSEMBLY INCLUDING A VACUUM SOURCE TO WHICH A MOBILE WASTE COLLECTION CART CAN BE RELEASABLY ATTACHED - A waste collection system for collecting waste during medical/surgical procedures including a mobile container cart with a waste container. A container cart is selectively coupled to a suction cart that includes a vacuum pump. The connection of the carts results in the connection of the vacuum pump to the waste container. The vacuum pump draws a vacuum that results in waste being drawn through a suction line into the waste container. The container cart holds instruments that can be removably attached to the container cart. This facilitates the configuration of the container cart for the specific procedure for which it is necessary to draw a suction. | 08-13-2015 |

20080247262 | BONE CEMENT CARTRIDGE WITH A RELEASABLY LOCKED DRIVE PISTON, THE PISTON CONFIGURED TO BE UNLOCKED BY A DELIVERY DEVICE - A bone cement mixing and delivery system is provided. The system includes a mixing cartridge for receiving liquid and powder components of bone cement, a mixing blade for mixing the components, and a delivery gun for discharging the bone cement from the mixing cartridge. The mixing cartridge comprises a cylinder having proximal and distal ends with a cylinder wall extending between the ends. A piston is locked at the distal end by a locking member that includes a pair of locking tabs protruding into slots in the cylinder wall. With the piston in the locked position, the mixing blade mixes the components. After mixing, the cartridge is placed in the delivery gun and release buttons on the locking member are engaged by a release mechanism on the delivery gun to release the piston from the locked position. | 10-09-2008 |
20110085411 | CARTRIDGE IN WHICH BONE CEMENT IS MIXED AND FROM WHICH BONE CEMENT IS DELIVERED, THE CARTRIDGE HAVING A COMPRESSIBLE BLADE WITH PLURAL VANES - A cartridge in which bone cement is mixed and from which the cement is discharged. A blade with plural vanes is disposed in the cartridge for mixing the cement. A piston located in one end of the cartridge is actuated to push the mixed cement out of the cartridge. The blade has plural vanes, one for scraping cement off the side of the cartridge, one for scraping cement off the piston and one for scraping cement off the end of the cartridge opposite the end in which the piston is normally located. The blade is collapsible so that when the piston is actuated the blade compresses to allow the cement in the cartridge to be pushed out. | 04-14-2011 |
20110156903 | WASTE COLLECTION SYSTEM FOR COLLECTING SOLID MEDICAL WASTE INCLUDING METAL DETECTION, PRE-DETECTION APPARATUS, AND/OR BAG- TENSIONING MECHANISM - A solid medical waste collection system for collecting solid medical waste. The system includes a mobile cart with a bag for storing the waste. A pre-detection apparatus detects metal-containing objects prior to placing them inside the bag to reduce costs to the facility in which the cart is employed. The system may also include a bag-tensioning mechanism for securing the bag to the cart. | 06-30-2011 |
20120057425 | CARTRIDGE FROM WHICH BONE CEMENT IS DISCHARGED, THE CARTRIDGE HAVING A REMOVABLE COUPLE NOZZLE - A cartridge in which bone cement is mixed and from which the cement is discharged. A blade with plural vanes is disposed in the cartridge for mixing the cement. A piston located in one end of the cartridge is actuated to push the mixed cement out of the cartridge. The blade has plural vanes, one for scraping cement off the side of the cartridge, one for scraping cement off the piston and one for scraping cement off the end of the cartridge opposite the end in which the piston is normally located. The blade is collapsible so that when the piston is actuated the blade compresses to allow the cement in the cartridge to be pushed out. | 03-08-2012 |

20090270899 | SURGICAL TOOL SYSTEM - A surgical tool system comprising a handpiece and a cutting accessory that is releaseably secured to the handpiece. The handpiece has a gear assembly with two drive heads. The gear assembly turns the drive heads at different rotational speeds relative to each other. The cutting accessory is provided with one of two drive hubs. If the cutting accessory is provided with a first drive hub, the drive hub mates to a first one of the drive heads so as to turn of the speed of that head. If the cutting accessory is provided with a second drive hub, the drive hub mates to the second drive head so as to turn at the speed of that head. Thus, the speed at which the cutting accessory is actuated is a function of the associated drive head. | 10-29-2009 |
