Abstract

Bone tissue fragments are collected from liquid fluid being evacuated by suction from a surgical operation in bone tissue. Liquid is allowed to pass into a cylindrical sieve through one open end thereof and through the sieve wall from the inside to the outside thereof. Bone tissue fragments are collected on the inside surface of the sieve and are scrapped off and deposited outside the sieve.
