By providing a single housing comprising a mixing chamber integrally combined with a delivery chamber or tube, a unitary, fully integrated, bone cement mixing and dispensing system is attained which eliminates user exposure or handling of the mixed bone cement. In the present invention, the two chambers of the integrated system of the present invention are movable between two alternate positions, a first position wherein each chamber is sealed from the other, and a second position wherein the two chambers are in direct communication with each other. In this way, the mixing chamber is operated independently of the delivery chamber for preparing the bone cement and, once prepared, easily transferred from the mixing chamber through the delivery chamber for immediate use.

[ Having described our invention, what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:] [1.] A process for preparing and delivering mixed bone cement to any desired site using a single, multi-purpose vessel comprising the steps of:A. mixing bone cement components in a mixing zone of said multi-purpose vessel until the cement components are fully intermixed;B. exposing the mixed bone cement to movement control means contained in a delivery section of the multi-purpose vessel;C. activating the movement control means to remove the bone cement from the mixing zone while drawing the mixed cement through the delivery section; andD. forcing the bone cement through an outlet portal of the delivery section under pressure by continuously activating the movement control means; reby cement is mixed and delivered in a single integrated assembly without the exposure of cement to the user during the process.
