CA 2752552

Bone substitute materials have been developed that become flowable upon heating. In order to use these new materials in the special environment of an operating room, methods and devices have been developed to conveniently and sterilely heat samples of the material as the material is being implanted into a patient. Inventive heating devices include cannulas (100) with a heated tip and devices similar to a hot melt glue gun. Therefore, the material is heated for only a short time preventing the degradation of biological components of the material.

Des matériaux servant de substitut osseux et devenant fluides après chauffage ont été mis au point. Pour pouvoir utiliser ces nouveaux matériaux dans l'environnement particulier d'une salle d'opération, on a mis au point des procédés et des dispositifs permettant de chauffer facilement et en conditions stériles des échantillons du matériau lors de l'implantation de celui-ci chez un patient. Les dispositifs chauffants de la présente invention comprennent des canules (100) équipées d'une extrémité chauffante, ainsi que des dispositifs similaires à un pistolet à colle thermofusible. En conséquence, le matériau n'est chauffé que pendant un bref laps de temps, ce qui évite la dégradation des composants biologiques dudit matériau.
