Abstract
A bone cleaning assembly with cleaning elements that remove soft tissue from bone stock. The module also includes a clearing element that is periodically urged against the cleaning elements to remove bone stock trapped by the cleaning elements from the cleaning elements.
Claims20
A bone cleaning module, the module comprising:
- a shell, the shell including a void space in which bone stock to be cleaned is deposited;
- a cleaning element disposed in the shell void space, the cleaning element adapted to, when actuated, remove soft tissue from the bone stock;
- a transfer component located adjacent the cleaning element, with the transfer component adapted to when actuated, transfer soft tissue cut by the cleaning element through a shell opening into a catch space of the shell;
- and
- wherein the shell is further formed to have an opening adjacent the cleaning element and to define a catch space that is separate from the void space that is in communication with the void space through the opening.
