A method for treating a vertebral bone comprises providing a bone filling material and mixing the bone filling material in a vessel to form a bone augmentation material. The method further comprises pressurizing the vessel with a pressurization source to retain a plurality of voids within the bone augmentation material. The method further includes inserting a material delivery device into the vertebral bone and injecting the bone augmentation material with the retained plurality of voids from the material delivery device and into the vertebral bone.

System and method for pressure mixing bone filling material

A method for treating a vertebral bone comprises providing a gaseous substance and providing a flowable and settable bone filling material. The method further comprises introducing the gaseous substance into the bone filling material to form a porous bone augmentation material and inserting a material delivery device into the vertebral bone. The method further comprises injecting the porous bone augmentation material from the material delivery device and into the vertebral bone.

System and method for forming porous bone filling material

A piston configured to be received within a syringe is disclosed. The piston includes a valve body defining a proximal end and a distal end, a filter disposed within the proximal end of the valve body, and a valve disk disposed within the distal end of the valve body. As the piston is advanced through the syringe, the valve disk is configured to provide fluid flow through the valve body.

Piston for material delivery system

An apparatus for monitoring the characteristics of tissue adjacent a surgical site and communicating that information to a health care provider includes a retractor, a sensor, and a processing system. The sensor is disposed on the retractor and is configured to measure a parameter indicative of at least one characteristic of the tissue adjacent the first or the second blade. The processing system is in communication with the sensor and configured and arranged to receive information from the sensor indicative of the measured parameter. It includes a threshold stored therein indicative of excessive trauma to the tissue and it is configured in a manner such that it compares the received information to the stored threshold and communicates information to the health care provider regarding the comparison.

Tissue monitoring surgical retractor system

An injectable material delivery device is disclosed and can include a barrel that can have an internal chamber. A plunger can be at least partially disposed within the internal chamber of the barrel. Further, a collapsible mixing blade can be disposed within the internal chamber.

Injectable material delivery device with an integrated mixer

A method for treating a vertebral bone comprises providing a plurality of hollow microparticles and providing a flowable and settable bone filling material. The method further comprises mixing the plurality of hollow microparticles with the bone filling material to form a bone augmentation material. The method further comprises inserting an injection device into the vertebral bone and injecting the bone augmentation material from the injection device and into the vertebral bone.
