Abstract: A bone dust collection device includes a bone dust collection structure defining a longitudinal axis and having a proximal end and a distal end. The bone dust collection structure has a transverse plate member connected at or in the vicinity of the proximal end to a cylindrical wall defining an aperture at the distal end for receiving and collecting bone dust. The aperture extends proximally and includes a filtration member disposed therein. The filtration member causes at least partial separation of fluid from the bone dust via the fluid passing proximally through the filtration member. The bone dust collection structure enables removal of bone dust collected therein. A method of collecting an anatomical specimen includes generating an anatomical specimen in particulate form at a surgical site of a subject; collecting the particulate accumulated in the collection device; and packing the collected particulate into a region of interest in the subject.
