30. A method, comprising:
-
passing a bone cement paste through a first passage that fluidly connects a first chamber and a second chamber, the first passage configured to cause a first level of shear within the bone cement paste as the bone cement paste is passed therethrough; and passing the bone cement paste through a second passage that fluidly connects the first chamber to a third chamber, the second passage configured to cause a second level of shear within the bone cement paste as the bone cement paste is passed therethrough, the second level of shear being different than the first level of shear. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
