Powdered antibiotic for bone cement aseptic technique

I can't find a great answer to this.

What techniques do your institutions use when the OR needs to open a vial to spread the powdered contents into a bone cement? Are there any tools to ensure aseptic technique? One of the nurses mentioned hearing about a catheter, but I can't seem to find anything.
