Abstract
A device is described that can accept two or more components for mixing and preparing a composition within the device. Once mixed and prepared, the device can deliver the composition to a surgical site. The composition can be a putty-like material that sets over time at the surgical site, such as a hemostatic device or a device for sealing a hole or cavity in bone.
Claims17
A device comprising:
- a body including a handle with an elongated nozzle extending from the handle;
- a mixing chamber disposed within the body for accepting and mixing at least two components of a composition for delivery to a surgical site;
- mixing blades disposed in the mixing chamber for mixing the at least two components,
- a motor coupled to the mixing blades via a mixing shaft, the motor having a first setting for rotating the mixing blades in a first direction and a second setting for rotating the mixing blades in a second direction;
- an extruder extending between the mixing chamber and a distal end of the elongated nozzle, the extruder assisting with extruding the composition from the mixing chamber and out of the distal end of the elongated nozzle;
- a sensor for collecting sensed data representing a characteristic of the at least two components or composition;
- and
- a processor in communication with the sensor for analyzing the sensed data and, based on the analyzed sensed data, controlling at least one of a rotational speed and rotational direction of the motor.
