Device and method for transferring, mixing and delivering components

Abstract

The arrangement for transferring, mixing, and dispensing preferably comprises at least two dispensing devices (1, 2). One of said dispensing devices (2) comprises liquid components (21, 23) and the arrangement comprises a transfer unit (15) for the connection of said dispensing devices (1, 2), and said transfer unit comprises connecting channels (36, 38) between outlets (17, 18; 41, 42) for the components (21, 23; 22, 24) in the storage containers (5, 6; 7, 8) of said dispensing devices (1, 2). For an increased reliability of operation, said transfer unit (15, 31, 39) comprises locking members (36) for receiving corresponding flanges (19, 20) provided on said dispensing devices (1, 2). A syringe system of this kind, using double syringes, allows an unproblematic storage and an easy and thorough mixing of multiple components as well as a simple dispensing of the mixtures. An arrangement of this kind offers particular advantages when the first syringe contains a powder or granulate, e.g. bone cement or a bone replacement material.
