Bone cement mixing made easy

These devices mix and deliver PMMA bone cement in a simple, quick and effective manner, with direct transfer of the bone cement from the mixing chamber to the delivery syringe, which then attaches, via a catheter, to the luer lock on the vertebroplasty needle. The need to mix in one device and aspirate into a separate syringe is therefore negated, making the whole procedure much easier for the nursing staff. The Minimix LV incorporates the patented rotational axis mixing paddle which is operated at the optimal vacuum of 550 mmHg – allowing for reduced porosity of the bone cement and effective fume removal for the staff. The Minimix LV has a luer lock to allow standard syringes to be connected directly to the mixer. The transfer of low viscosity PMMA directly into a syringe is therefore quick and easy, giving the interventional radiologist the flexibility of either using delivery syringes of their choice, or the Minimix precision delivery syringe. This product has been specifically designed for use in vertebroplasty procedures and will hold up to 10 cc of bone cement and comes with a 200 mm catheter. Fine control can be achieved by applying the screw thread, thus ensuring that only small amounts of bone cement are delivered at a time, in a controlled manner.
