Method and Apparatus for Producing Autologous Thrombin
First Claim
1. A device for isolating a component of a multi-component composition comprising:
- a housing having a housing base;
a chamber rotatably mounted within said housing, said chamber including;
a chamber base; and
a side wall extending from said chamber base, at least a portion of said sidewall is defined by a filter that permits passage of a first component of said multi-component composition out of said chamber through said filter and to said housing base, said filter restricts passage of a second component of said multi-component composition through said filter; and
a withdrawal port that extends from a position proximate to said housing base to an exterior of said device, said withdrawal port permits the withdrawal of the first component from the housing base to an exterior of said device.

Abstract
A device for isolating a component of a multi-component composition. The device includes a housing, a chamber, and a withdrawal port. The chamber is rotatably mounted within the housing. The chamber includes a chamber base and a sidewall. The side wall extends from the chamber base. At least a portion of the sidewall is defined by a filter that permits passage of a first component of the multi-component composition out of the chamber through the filter and to the housing base. The filter restricts passage of a second component of the multi-component composition through the filter. The withdrawal port extends from a position proximate to the housing base to an exterior of the device. The withdrawal port permits the withdrawal of the first component from the housing base to an exterior of the device.

19. A device for isolating a component of a multi-component composition comprising:
-
a housing having a housing base; a chamber rotatably mounted within the housing, the chamber including; a chamber base; a chamber cover; and a side wall extending from the chamber base to the chamber cover, at least a portion of the side wall is defined by a filter proximal the chamber cover that permits passage of a first component of the multi-component composition out of the chamber through the filter into the housing base, the filter restricts passage of a second component of the multi-component composition through the filter; and a withdrawal port that extends from a position proximate to the housing base to an exterior of the device, the withdrawal port permits withdrawal of the first component from the housing between an inner wall of the housing and the chamber to the exterior of the device.

20. A device for isolating a component of a multi-component composition comprising:
-
a housing having a housing base, the housing base including a first sloped portion, a second sloped portion, and an apex portion between the first sloped portion and the second sloped portion, where the first sloped portion slopes toward a side wall of the housing and the second slope portion slopes away from the side wall of the housing; a chamber rotatably mounted within the housing, the chamber including; a chamber base; a side wall extending from the chamber base, at least a portion of the sidewall defining a plurality of passages to permit passage of a first component of the multi-component composition out of the chamber through the plurality of passages into the housing base; and an annular rim that extends from an undersurface of the chamber, the annular rim proximate to the apex portion between the side wall and the apex portion; and a withdrawal port that extends from a position proximate to the housing base to an exterior of the device, the withdrawal port permits the withdrawal of the first component from the housing base to an exterior of the device.
