The container herein described protects a sterile capsule containing predrmined amounts of a multi-component curable material (such as bone cement) against contamination. The container allows externally applied pressure to be transmitted to the capsule. The material components contained in the capsule are thereby brought into contact and may be mixed in an oscillating mixer. Even when the mixer is not operated in a sterile environment, the capsule remains sterile, which is essential for use such as in an operating room. For transmitting the pressure required for actuating the capsule, the container consists of two shell portions 1 and 2 which can be moved against each other by application of external compression forces. When the container is opened, the capsule is protected by means of a ring 3 or apron against contacting non-sterile container surfaces.
