ABSTRACT:
A mixing device for producing reduced porosity bone cement. The device having a movable member (6), preferably a movable piston, which is adapted to press out or discharge bone cement (2) from the mixing device (1). The piston is fixedly mounted in the mixing device. The piston maintains its position when bone cement (2) is mixed in a mixing space in the mixing device. The mixing device is under a vacuum during mixing. After mixing, the piston is released such that it can be drawn into the mixing device (1) toward a discharge opening (13) by a vacuum prevailing in the mixing device (1). The moving piston is used for collecting clumps of bone cement (2) in the mixing device (1) adjacent to the discharge opening (13). By collecting the clumps of bone cement by the moving piston (6) under a vacuum, the porosity of the bone cement (2) is reduced.
