ABSTRACT:
A device for mixing bone cement is disclosed. Dry PMMA powder and MMA liquid are mixed in a vacuum chamber by a rotary mixer having a pair of spaced mixing arms. The rotary mixer is manually rotated by a gear drive. The arms of the rotary mixer follow continuous paths, each path having a plurality of loops at the wall of the chamber and curved portions extending across the chamber between loops. The arms move through the cement, break bubbles and thoroughly mix the PMMA and MMA. Gas from broken bubbles is vacuum drawn from the mixer to a vacuum source.
