Abstract
Methods and apparatus for producing saline slush for surgical applications. Producing surgical saline slush in a slush bottle that is a rigid or semi-rigid, high integrity, sturdy container that resists punctures and leaks to better maintain a sterile barrier and does not rely on having an external object placed in the fluid to mix the slush. Slush is agitated within the slush bottle. Slush bottle features are discussed which agitate and condition slush for use in medical procedures. The slush bottle may be rotated using a pair of rollers. A slush station may have one or more compartments for the production of slush and a basin shell for maintaining slush as slush in a basin. Specialized techniques for a vertical slush bottle are discussed.
