1. A process for producing sterile-packed bone cement, comprising:
- providing a first and second containers connected but having an opening therebetween sealed by a first sealing device, wherein said first container contains a polymer powder and said second container contains a monomer;
introducing sterilizing gas via a first sterile filter attached to said first container so as to sterilize said polymer powder in said first container; and
,introducing the sterilizing gas via a second sterile filter attached to said second container so as to sterilize said second container internally.

14. A device for containing sterile-packed bone cement, wherein sterility is achieved by gas sterilization, said device comprising:
-
a first container for packing polymer powder; a second container for packing monomer, said first container being connected to said second container via a first sealing device; a first sterile filter connected to said first container via a first separation area; a second sterile filter connected to said second container via a second separation area; a reservoir, located between said first separation area and a powder filter in communication with said first container, for creating suction via pressure difference between said first container and said second container when said first sealing device is open to draw said monomer from said second container into said first container for mixing with said polymer powder; and whereby The device is effective for sterilizing the polymer powder, said first container, said second container, the monomer, and the reservoir internally by gas sterilization. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
