1. A bone cement preparation system comprising:

  • a liquid container configured to receive a liquid component of a bone cement from an external source and further configured to release the liquid component therefrom;

    a mixing chamber configured to receive through a first opening and hold therein a non-liquid component of the bone cement from an external source, wherein the first opening is disposed at a first end of the mixing chamber and is further configured to couple to the liquid container to receive and hold the liquid component released therefrom to form a settable bone cement mixture comprising the liquid component and the non-liquid component, the mixing chamber further having a second opening that is disposed at a second end of the mixing chamber; and

    a filter configured to couple to the second opening of the mixing chamber, wherein the filter comprises a plurality of pores that are configured to prevent passage of the bone cement mixture therethrough while allowing passage of air or gas therethough,wherein the system comprises a flow path that extends from the liquid container through the first opening of the mixing chamber to the second opening of the mixing chamber, wherein the direction of the flow path is linear.
