Abstract

The present disclosure provides a device and method for applying a bone graft material to the body. The device includes a cylinder into which bone graft material is loaded. Specifically, the bone graft material is loaded into the cylinder through a funnel at a proximal end of the cylinder and dispensed through a tip at a distal end of the cylinder. After the bone graft material is loaded, a sleeve within the cylinder can be removed in order to create a channel within the bone graft material. Water or other hydrating fluid may be inserted into the channel through a port adjacent the proximal end of the cylinder in order to hydrate the bone graft material.
