ABSTRACT:
Apparatus including a receptacle mounted on the handpiece of ultrasonic apparatus which utilizes ultrasonic energy for removing cores of thermoplastic material such as bone cement used to implant prostheses. The receptacle is placed in fluid communication with an acoustical conductor extending through the apparatus and a tubular tip provided at the end of the conductor which tip is vibrated ultrasonically to remove the cores, for example of bone cement. The receptacle is connected to a source of suction, and the cores are drawn or aspirated through the tubular tip, the acoustical connector, and into the receptacle. A filter may be provided in the receptacle to assure that cores received in the receptacle are not drawn or aspirated out of the receptacle through flexible tubing which interconnects the receptacle to a source of suction.
