Vacuum Mixing of Bone Cement
Vacuum Mixing of Bone Cement
Bone cement used in replacement surgery is generally weak because of air bubble trapped in the cement during mixing. I invented a first generation vacuum mixing system and subsequently developed 2nd generation self contained vacuum mixer.

OrthoGenic is now developing a 3rd generation vacuum mixer which is even more compact and can be developed for multiple orthopedic companies. This will require heavy investment to bring it to production ready prototype, file patent and develop a business plan. This is a high value project. The technology is currently under patent filing and design freeze is pending. Disclosure of details will require confidentiality agreement.
