Medical cement monomer ampoule cartridge for storing the ampoule, opening the ampoule and selectively discharging the monomer from the ampoule into a mixer

摘要

A monomer handling unit for storing a ampoule of monomer and releasing the monomer from the ampoule when desired is provided. The monomer handling unit can be used to attach to an enclosed mixer and release a monomer component of the bone cement into the mixer to be mixed with a powder component of the bone cement. The monomer handling unit can also be used to release the liquid monomer into another mixer, such as one that is not enclosed.
