Patent abstract
An apparatus and method for inserting prosthesis implants into a patient pocket. The apparatus has multiple openings including a prosthesis opening, a proximal opening, and a small opening to receive a lubricating fluid. The prosthesis bag is a container with a wide sealed distal end and passage to a narrow apex. The apparatus reduces infection; eases insertion and placement of a cohesive silicone gel implant; and reduces complications. In use, the prosthesis bag is placed through the patient incision while allowing the bag to be manipulated to force the prosthesis into a surgical pocket of a patient.
