  • Bone dust accumulator
    Publication number: 20060052760
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for accumulating bone dust in a fluid from a surgical site or the like, wherein a collecting vessel is provided that has an inlet opening near one end thereof and an outlet opening near the opposite end thereof. A permeable plunger is slidably mounted in the vessel for movement between a first position wherein it is disposed between the inlet opening and the outlet opening, and a second position wherein it is disposed near the one end of the vessel. Fluid containing bone dust from a surgical site is conveyed through the inlet opening into the vessel when the plunger is in the first position, such that the fluid passes through the plunger and through the outlet opening. The plunger is of a construction to prevent the bone dust from passing therethrough such that it is accumulated between the plunger and the one end of the vessel.
