Device and method for removing gas from a mixture of biomaterials

A device for removing a gas from a mixture of biomaterials, comprising;

• a syringe having a syringe body and a cavity therein, the syringe body having a proximal opening and a distal opening;
• and
• a vacuum pump movably positioned within the cavity, the vacuum pump and the syringe body at least partially defining a vacuum chamber, the vacuum pump comprising:
• a pump body having a proximal portion and a distal portion, the proximal portion having a port configured to operatively engage a vacuum device for generating a vacuum therein;
• a stopper having an inlet, the stopper operatively connected to the distal portion of the pump body;
• a flow channel extending from the inlet to the port such that the stopper, the pump body, and the vacuum chamber are in fluid communication, the flow channel adapted to fluidly connect the vacuum and the vacuum chamber;
• and
• a first valve positioned between the inlet and the port within the flow channel, the first valve operable to open and close the flow channel for selectively connecting the vacuum to the vacuum chamber such that the vacuum within the vacuum device withdraws the gas from the mixture of biomaterials within the vacuum chamber;
• wherein the vacuum pump is received by the proximal opening and movable toward the distal opening for discharging the mixture of biomaterials from the distal opening.
