Abstract

See full text

A pressurizer is provided for use with a bone cement injection device to inject bone cement into a bone canal under pressure. The pressurizer includes a body having proximal and distal ends with an inlet defined at the proximal end, an outlet defined at the distal end, and a channel defined between the inlet and the outlet. The channel includes first and second segments. The first segment extends from the inlet about a first axis to the second segment. The second segment extends from the first segment to the outlet about a second axis intersecting the first axis at an acute angle. The channel defines a cement flow path that directionally varies between the first and second segments such that the bone cement injection device can be angled relative to the bone canal. Alternative embodiments in which the pressurizer includes a rigid support member and a handle are also provided.
