Kits for preparing a reactive graft material and injecting the graft material into a patient

Abstract

Disclosed are kits for preparing a reactive graft material and injecting the graft material into a patient. Kits may include a first syringe containing a first powdered component and a second syringe containing a second powdered component that is reactive with the first powdered component when the first and second powdered components are dispersed in a diluent solution. The kits may further include a vial sealed by a septum and containing the diluent solution. A syringe connector may be included that has a connector at each end configured to make a fluidic connection to, respectively, the first syringe and the second syringe, and also comprises a passageway adapted to allow fluid to pass between the syringes when the syringes are both fluidically connected to the syringe connector. A vial adapter comprising a connector adapted for fluidically connecting to at least one of the first syringe and the second syringe, a passageway adapted to allow fluid to pass from the vial into a syringe fluidically connected to the connector of the vial adapter, and a spike in fluidic communication with the passageway of the vial adapter may be included. The spike is adapted for piercing the septum of the vial. Certain kits also contain one or more needles for delivery of the graft material to a site within a body of a patient.

1 . A kit for preparing a reactive graft material and injecting the graft material into a patient, comprising:
 a first syringe containing a first powdered component;   a second syringe containing a second powdered component that is reactive with the first powdered component when the first and second powdered components are dispersed in a diluent solution;   a vial containing the diluent solution and sealed by a septum;   a syringe connector that includes a connector at each end configured to make a fluidic connection to, respectively, the first syringe and the second syringe, and also comprises a passageway adapted to allow fluid to pass between the syringes when the syringes are both fluidically connected to the syringe connector;   a vial adapter comprising a connector adapted for fluidically connecting to at least one of the first syringe and the second syringe, a passageway adapted to allow fluid to pass from the vial into a syringe fluidically connected to the connector of the vial adapter, and a spike in fluidic communication with the passageway of the vial adapter, wherein the spike is adapted for piercing the septum of the vial; and   one or more needles for delivery of the graft material to a site within a body of a patient.   
     
     
         2 . The kit of  claim 1 , wherein the connectors at each end of the syringe connector are threaded connectors. 
     
     
         3 . The kit of  claim 2 , wherein the connector of the vial adapter is a threaded connector. 
     
     
         4 . The kit of  claim 1 , further comprising at least two needles. 
     
     
         5 . The kit of  claim 4 , wherein the at least two needles comprise needles that differ from one another in length and/or gauge. 
     
     
         6 . The kit of  claim 4 , wherein at least one needle is a Jamshidi needle. 
     
     
         7 . The kit of  claim 6 , wherein each of the one or more needles is a Jamshidi needle. 
     
     
         8 . The kit of  claim 6 , comprising an 11-gauge Jamshidi needle of a first length and a 16-gauge Jamshidi needle of a second, shorter length.
