Bone Fragment Collector And Processor

Abstract:

A device (10) for collecting and processing bone fragments is disclosed. The device comprises a chamber member (12), a press member (14), an intake port (16), and a vacuum port (18). A compression surface (20) and a filter support surface (22) configured to support a filter are defined by said chamber and/or press member. The intake port is on the chamber and/or press member and is configured to receive a composition comprising bone fragments. The vacuum port is on the chamber and/or press member. The chamber member and the press member are rotationally coupled with one another. The composition is acquired through the intake port and collected between the compression surface and the filter support surface. The application of rotational force to the chamber and/or press member in a first direction moves the compression surface and the filter support surface together to compress the composition therebetween to compact, and further remove filtrate from the composition.
