A
vacuum mixing device or
system mixes polymethylmethacrylate
bone cement from a
monomer liquid and a
cement powder. The device or
system comprising at least one
cartridge comprising an evacuable interior for mixing of the
bone cement, a mixing device for mixing the content in the interior of the at least one
cartridge, a receptacle for receiving a separate container containing the
monomer liquid or comprising an integrated container containing the
monomer liquid, an opening device, which is arranged in the region of the receptacle in a manner movable relative to the receptacle so that, by moving the opening device, a separate container arranged in the receptacle is openable by means of the opening device, or the opening device is arranged in the region of the integrated container in a manner movable relative to the integrated container so that, by moving the opening device, the integrated container is openable by means of the opening device, a
vacuum pump, in which a movable vacuum
plunger for generating a negative pressure is arranged and delimits a
vacuum pump chamber of the
vacuum pump, a pressure pump, in which a movable pump
plunger for conveying a liquid is arranged and delimits a pressure
pump chamber of the pressure pump, a connection line, and a fluid connection. The device or
system further comprises an operating element that is operatable from outside, wherein, by means of the operating element, the vacuum
plunger in the vacuum pump is movable manually, the pump plunger in the pressure pump is movable manually, the opening device is movable manually relative to the receptacle or relative to the integrated container, and the mixing device is movable manually in the interior of the
cartridge.
