Abstract: According to one example, a valve for an apparatus configured to mix bone cement is disclosed. The valve can include a base defining a first portion of a passage. The passage can be configured to allow a component of the bone cement through the valve. The valve can include a projection extending from the base to a base opposing end and forming a second portion of the passage that communicates with the first portion. The projection can have a frustoconically shaped surface that comprises one of an outer surface or an inner surface that forms a part of the second portion of the passage.

Abstract: An apparatus for applying a vacuum during a surgical procedure can include a vacuum pump assembly having a port, a first housing, a second housing, a first silencer or tubular magnet and a second silencer. The first housing can define a first cavity receiving the vacuum pump assembly therein. A portion of the first housing can be formed by a portion of the port. The second housing can define a second cavity receiving the first housing therein. A portion of the second housing can be formed by a second portion of the port. The first silencer or tubular magnet can be coupled to the first housing and can have a longitudinal extent along a longitudinal axis. The first silencer or tubular magnet can extend from the first housing within the second cavity. The second silencer can be coupled to the second housing and can have a longitudinal extent along a longitudinal axis. The second silencer can extend from the second housing within second cavity.
