Self-contained power-assisted syringe

A self-contained and hand-held power-assisted syringe is provided which is suitable for the controlled injection of fluid material during medical procedures such as coronary angiography procedures which utilize small-bore and small sized guide catheter systems. The present invention provides a greater degree of injection power on-demand than was previously possible in a portable and hand-held syringe; and it can deliver larger volumes of radiopaque contrast medium at greater pressures than was previously possible using a conventional manual syringe. The power assisted syringe, along with all components necessary for its effective use and operation, may be pre-packaged and steriled within a single container and then disposed of after use.

Injectable bone-replacement mixture

An injectable mixture for substituting bone tissue in situ comprises: A) a two-component powder / liquid bone cement which upon mixing forms a self-hardening cement paste; and B) a third component consisting of a liquid which essentially is non-miscible with the cement paste and which is suitable to be washed out after hardening of said mixture in situ, resulting in a porous bone substituting material; and C) an X-ray contrast agent which is an organic substance. The injectable bone substitute material for bone augmentation has adaptable mechanical properties, an optimal radio-opacity without any inorganic X-ray contrast agent and therefore good biocompatibility.
