TRIPORE DELIVERY DEVICE

摘要

The application relates to apparatus (10) for preparing a biological composite and to methods for using the apparatus. The inventor identified a need to improve the mixing of the bone marrow aspirate with the ceramic material. There is a need to ensure that there is consistent mixing of the two materials and also to reduce the amount of pressure required to pass the bone marrow aspirate into the ceramic material. Reducing the pressure and therefore shear forces reduces the amount of damage to cells within the bone marrow aspirate as they are passed into the apparatus. The inventor has utilised a diffuser (22) to improve mixing of the materials and reduce the pressure and sheer force applied to the bone marrow aspirate.
