Abstract
Methods and apparatus for producing saline slush for surgical applications. A mixture comprising water and salt within a receptacle is attached to an assembly for making surgical slush while imposing complex rotational motion upon the receptacle. The complex rotational motion including rotating the platform with the attached receptacle around a first axis that runs through the platform while rotating the platform around an orbital axis different from the first axis to impose a complex motion upon the fluid within the receptacle.
