ABSTRACT:
A novel cannula is disclosed for use in the application of bone cement to the prepared intramedullary canal of a bone prior to the cementation of a surgical implant therein. The novel cannula comprises a hollow tube adapted to slidingly receive the nozzle of a bone cement extruder, an inflatable cuff surrounding the tube, and means to inflate the cuff. In operation, the inflated cuff forms a seal against the wall of the intramedullary canal, thereby preventing escape of cement through the open end of the prepared canal and insuring that the applied cement is properly pressurized within the canal. As a result, a highly secure cementation of the surgical implant within the intramedullary canal is achieved.
