ORAL CRANIOFACIAL BONE MILL

摘要

A bone mill (10) comprising a vessel and a rotatable grinding tool (16) to produce ground autologous bone particles for surgical bone reconstruction use, wherein the vessel (12) includes a wall (24) defining a circular cylindrical chamber (26) having a concentric axis (X). The vessel (12) further includes a bottom wall (20) at right angle to the axis (X) and a lid (14) adapted to be removably connected to the vessel (12). The lid (14) includes an opening (32) coincident with the axis. The grinding tool (16) includes an elongated shaft (18) extending through the opening (32) in the lid (14) along the axis (X) with a cutting blade (52) mounted to the shaft (18) within the chamber (26) whereby the cutting blade (52) can be rotated by motive means, such as a dental drill, engaging the shaft (18) exterior of the vessel (12) to cut bone, placed in the vessel (12), into said bone particles.
