Reconstitution device and method of use
First Claim
1. A reconstitution device, comprising:
- a first receptacle receiver having a first component cannula disposed therein, said first component cannula having a material flow lumen therethrough and having at least a first transfer port formed thereon and in communication with said material flow lumen, said first component cannula having a pointed tip;
a second receptacle receiver connected to said first receptacle receiver, said second receptacle receiver having a second component cannula disposed therein and wherein said material flow lumen traverses through said second component cannula, said second component cannula having a second transfer port formed thereon and in communication with said material flow lumen, said second component cannula having a second pointed tip;
a pressure lumen formed within at least one of said first component cannula and said second component cannula;
a pressure port formed on at least one of said first component cannula and said second component cannula and in fluid communication with pressure lumen; and
a user-controllable source of pressure in fluid communication with said pressure lumen.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for reconstituting a multiple component material is disclosed. More particularly, the present invention discloses an apparatus utilizing an operator controllable pressurization device to generate a pressure differential between two receptacles attached to the device. The receptacles may contain individual components of a multiple component material, and may include liquid-liquid or liquid-solid compounds. The apparatus includes a material transfer lumen attachable to a first and second component receptacle. A pressurization lumen is connected to one of the component receptacles to facilitate material transfer. One embodiment of the present invention utilizes a negative pressure differential created in the second receptacle to facilitate transfer. In another embodiment, a positive pressure is created in the first receptacle to force material transfer between the two receptacles.
