ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a device including a hollow tube which contains a supply of beeswax which can be controllably extruded for use. The hollow tube has a plunger-like device mounted at its side or at one end to permit external pressure to be provided to compress the contents of the tube. An opening is located at the end of the tube opposite the plunger through which the wax is extruded. The size of the opening is determined by the size of the bone pore to be filled and the quantity of wax desired. A metal tip is affixed adjacent to the opening for applying the wax to the bone. The length and width of the metal tip is determined by the size of the bone pore to be filled. A single hollow tube may be used for two different size applicators by dividing the tube with a partition to form two chambers, each of which is filled with beeswax.
