The present invention is directed to a system and method for percutaneous
delivery of bone cement during a surgical procedure. The system of the
present invention has a plunger assembly 100, comprising: a shaft having
a first end, a middle section, and a second end, wherein the middle
section is threaded; and a handle attached to the first end of the shaft.
The system further comprises a dispenser hub assembly 200 around the
shaft having a collar and a hand-grip attached to the collar, and a
threaded portion formed on an interior surface of the collar. The system
may further comprise a hollow tube 300 for containing the bone cement
during the surgical procedure having a first end and a second end, the
first end of the hollow tube adapted to be removably engaged with the
threaded portion of the dispenser hub assembly. The shaft is axially
displaceable through the hollow tube for controlled displacement of the
bone cement through the second end of the hollow tube. The system of the
present invention may be provided as a kit, which may further comprise:
at least one tubing assembly, at least one cannula, and at least one
stylet. The stylet may have a tip geometry selected from the group
consisting of: a sharp pyramid tip, an angled tip, a blunt tip, and a
corkscrew tip.
