Abstract
A bone graft containment device includes a body extending longitudinally from a first end to a second end. The body includes a channel extending longitudinally therethrough. The device also includes a fluid delivery structure received within the channel. The fluid delivery structure includes a central tubular member extending along a length of the channel and a laterally extending tubular member extending laterally from the central tubular member to a fluid receiving opening. The central tubular member includes a plurality of openings extending laterally through a wall thereof, so that, when the fluid receiving opening is connected to an external fluid source, fluid is passed through the laterally extending tubular member and the central tubular member to be dispersed to a graft material packed within the channel via the plurality of openings.
