Abstract
A removable second stage biocompatible substrate filter including biocompatible implant material configured to trap second stage operative particulate matter, wherein the removable second stage biocompatible substrate filter is configured to combine with first stage operative particulate matter captured from irrigation fluid by a first stage filter, defining a combined product and the removable second stage biocompatible substrate filter is configured to be removable from a filter device container.
Claims19
A removable second stage biocompatible substrate filter comprising:
- biocompatible implant material configured to trap second stage operative particulate matter;
- wherein the removable second stage biocompatible substrate filter is configured to combine with first stage operative particulate matter captured from irrigation fluid by a first stage filter, defining a combined product;
- and
- wherein the removable second stage biocompatible substrate filter is configured to be removable from a filter device container.
A removable second stage biocompatible substrate filter comprising:
- biocompatible implant material configured to retain second stage operative particulate matter;
- wherein the removable second stage filter is configured to combine with first stage operative particulate matter captured from irrigation fluid by a first stage filter, defining a combined product;
- wherein the first stage operative particulate matter includes material of a first size;
- and
- wherein the second stage operative particulate matter includes material of a second size.
A removable second stage biocompatible substrate filter comprising:
- biocompatible implant material configured to retain second stage operative particulate matter;
- wherein the removable second stage biocompatible substrate filter is configured to combine with operative particulate matter captured from irrigation fluid by a first stage filter;
- wherein the first stage retained material and the second stage retained material are obtained from a reaming device;
- wherein an output of the reaming device is connected to an input of a first stage filter container;
- wherein a flow of materials suspended in the irrigation fluid is filtered by the first stage filter;
- wherein the first stage retained material is separated from the flow of materials suspended in the irrigation fluid by a filter possessing a first particulate size selectivity that provides a first stage output flow of materials suspended in irrigation fluid;
- wherein the first stage output flow of materials is suspended in the irrigation fluid and passed through a first stage output;
- wherein an input of a second stage filter container is connected by a second connecting tube to the output of the first stage filter container;
- wherein the first stage output flow of materials suspended in the irrigation fluid is filtered by the second stage filter;
- wherein the second stage filter retains a second sized particulate matter different than the first stage filter;
- wherein the second stage filter collects a portion of at least one or more of plasma, stem cells, growth factors, and cellular matter, and allows for passing of a portion of the irrigation fluid, as output flow;
- wherein the second stage filter container includes an evacuation port to permit the flow of materials suspended in the irrigation fluid to be evacuated from the second stage filter container in a continuous process;
- wherein the continuous process includes the first stage filter container receiving output from the reaming device and output from the second stage filter simultaneously;
- and
- wherein the biocompatible substrate is configured to receive at least a portion of the first stage retained material in combination with at least a portion of the second stage retained material to create a combined graft product.
