DEFINITION

Classification: 606/92

Device for the application of bone cement:

(under subclass 86) Subject matter wherein the assisting means aids in the application or distribution of a glue-like material or luting agent to a bone surface or into a cavity in a bone.

(1) Note. Patents in this subclass disclose tube or disk shaped materials which actually become part of a prosthesis when filled with cement and are used to distribute the cement to a uniform thickness on a bone surface.

(2) Note. Bone cement, per se, is not classifiable here.

(3) Note. The term "cement" is considered to include any hardenable material which is used as a luting or grouting agent, but the material is not required to form an adhesive bond with bone tissue.
