Abstract

An assisting tool for pressing a piston while fixing in place a syringe or a similar instrument which contains a highly viscous chemical agent, so as to extrude the chemical agent, as well as a method for extruding a chemical agent using the same. The chemical-agent extrusion assisting-tool includes a tool body in the form of a cylindrical body having a space formed therein for accommodating a tubular container, such as a syringe, which contains a highly viscous chemical, such as calcium-phosphate-based cement formed by kneading a calcium phosphate powder and a kneading liquid composed of a polysaccharide-containing aqueous solution, and an outlet formed at its bottom end. The cylindrical body has a cylindrical space formed therein so as to open at an upper end surface thereof. The assisting-tool further has a pusher including a handle portion for pressing a piston to be inserted into the tubular container, and a tubular body screw-threadedly engaged with the tool body and disposed on a side of the handle portion which presses the piston. The handle portion of the chemical-agent extrusion assisting-tool is rotated so as to press the tubular body into the cylindrical space and so as…
