Patent Summary
A powered bone marrow aspiration system that reduces physical demands and mental stress on operators and patients by increasing speed and control of aspiration needle insertion during cancellous bone and bone marrow harvesting procedures. The system includes a battery-powered driver, a coupler assembly, a containment bag, and an aspiration needle set that can penetrate the cortex of a bone and associated cancellous bone to a desired depth to extract bone marrow. The driver and connector assembly can be separated from the aspiration needle set, and a hub assembly attached to one end of the aspiration needle set can be manipulated to leave an aspiration needle or cannula securely seated in the bone.
