Abstract
A bone wax applicator has a cylinder magazine for storing bone wax and a piston for movement within the cylinder in response to manual activation of a trigger connected to the piston. The wax is moved out of the cylinder magazine through a tube mounted to communicate with one end of the cylinder magazine. The tube has a free end extending from the cylinder magazine with an opening at the free end. A dissector tip is attached to the free end adjacent the opening. Wax exuded from the opening is available to be spread on bleeding bone surfaces using the dissector tip.
Claims15
A bone wax applicator, comprising
- means for providing a force,
- a cylinder having a piston end and an outlet end,
- a piston coupled to said force and disposed within said cylinder for close sliding fit therein and for movement between said cylinder piston end and said cylinder outlet end in response to said force,
- said cylinder having an access opening,
- an access opening cover moveable between open and closed positions,
- an open wax transport tube connected at one end to said cylinder outlet end and having an opposing free end,
- said opposing free end having a discharge opening, and
- a dissector tip attached to said opposing free end adjacent said discharge opening.
A bone wax applicator for controlling bone bleeding, comprising
- a manually engageable force generator,
- a cylinder having an axial length, a piston end and an outlet end,
- a piston connected to said manually engageable force generator, said piston being configured for close sliding fit within said cylinder and for movement between said cylinder piston and cylinder outlet ends,
- said cylinder having an accessible wax receiving chamber therein when said piston is positioned at said piston end,
- an access cover for said wax receiving chamber moveable between open and closed positions,
- a wax distribution tube connected at one end to said cylinder outlet end and having a wax outlet port at an opposing free end, and
- a dissector tip mounted adjacent said wax outlet port for applying wax supplied through said wax outlet port.
A bone wax application gun, comprising
- a gun body,
- a gun handle depending from said gun body,
- a gun barrel extending laterally from said gun body,
- a gun trigger pivotally mounted in said gun body, having an accessible free end and an opposing end,
- a cylinder having an axial length and an outlet end mounted in said gun barrel,
- a piston configured for a close sliding fit within said cylinder,
- means responsive to gun trigger pivotal motion disposed between said gun trigger opposing end and said piston for providing movement of said piston along said cylinder axial length,
- a wax transport tube attached at one end to said cylinder outlet end and extending toward a free end from said gun barrel,
- said wax transport tube having a hole in said free end, and
- a dissector tip mounted on said wax transport tube adjacent said free end,
- said cylinder having an accessible wax containment chamber therein.
