Abstract: The invention relates to a delivery system, device and method for delivering biomaterials for fracture fixation (including augmented fixation), in particular, for delivery of bone cements. The mixing system ensures the biomaterial only commences setting upon extrusion from the mixer, cannula or during injection through an appropriate internal fracture fixation device, allowing for rapid closing by the surgeon. The system also permits the surgeon to cease injecting the cement for an extended period of time before continuing the injection in another area using the same cartridge, through the simple removal of one mixer and attaching another in its place. The invention also provides a method of delivery of biomaterials to a desired implantation site.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an implantable device configured to deliver, to an injured bone site, components for revascularisation and bone repair, the device comprising: a first osteoconductive scaffold component adapted to hold and deliver to the injured bone site, growth factors for inducing cellular events that initiate healing; and comprising a second osteoconductive scaffold component adapted to hold and deliver to the injured bone site, viable autologous osteogenic and/or angiogenic cells, and wherein the device also comprises a third scaffold component adapted to promote bone cell proliferation and vascularity, whereby the scaffold components provide a stable mechanical environment for promoting bone cell proliferation and vascularity. The present invention also relates to a method of manufacture of the implantable device.
