Abstract
A device for delivering material to multiple surgical target locations includes a pressure reservoir selectably coupled to two or more outlets. Coupling the pressure reservoir to a given one of the outlets and pressurizing the pressure reservoir causes flowable material (e.g., bone filler material) to be dispensed from that outlet. A diverter for selectably coupling the pressure reservoir one of the outlets can be configured to trigger a pressure release valve for the pressure reservoir upon switching, thereby preventing unexpected or uncontrolled material delivery from the new outlet in response to sudden high pressure exposure.

12. A surgical method comprising:
-
pressurizing a pressure reservoir to express a first quantity of bone filler material from a first nozzle into a first target surgical location; decoupling the first nozzle from the pressure reservoir; coupling a second nozzle to the pressure reservoir; and pressurizing the pressure reservoir to express a second quantity of bone filler material from the second nozzle into a second target surgical location. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
