ABSTRACT:
A device and a method for use in transplantation of bone tissue material in a cavity (7) in bones (6) so as to give the cavity a desired shape with a required thickness of the bone material forming the wall of the cavity, is based on the use of a means (3) for compacting the bone tissue material (15) in the cavity. A guide pin (1) is adapted to be applied substantially centrally in the cavity (7). The compacting means (3) has an opening (10) for passage of the guide pin (1) so as to obtain guiding of the compacting means by the guide pin on movement of said means with respect thereto. The compacting means (3) has a jacket (12) delimiting an inner hollow space (13). The jacket (12) is provided with an opening (16) for allowing liquid to pass through the jacket and into the hollow space.
