A kit of parts for the production and delivery of implantable devices to an intramedullary canal of a patient;
- the kit of parts including a multi-cavity flexible mould mat, a guide tube, a pusher that facilitates implantable devices being freely inserted into the intramedullary canal, a bone substitute powder component and liquid component, together with apparatus to enable mixing of the components and dispensation of the mixed components to cavities in the mould mat, where it is allowed to cure or set.
