Patent attributes
The Bone Dust Trap for collecting bone dust during various surgical procedures for subsequent bone graft implantation. The device includes cylindrical housing unit covered with the lid, attached to the central pipe with the porous tip. The pipe connects the cyclone forming mechanism and filtrating membrane, located at the lower part of the central pipe. The membrane interlinks with the plurality of porous plates located along the walls of the cylinder. The cyclone forming mechanism, consisting of the inlet port with conical jet and the spiral helix, creates spiral movement of the incoming fluid. The liquid is further directed towards the 2-stage filtrating system with the said porous plates, where larger bone particles are accumulated, and then to the filtrating membrane, which collects smaller particles. The fluid is extracted through the central pipe. The lid can be removed to collect the bone particles from plates and membrane.
