Abstract
An apparatus and method for inserting prosthesis implants into a patient cavity. The apparatus includes a guide member, prosthesis manipulation pouch and a retractor. The apparatus prevents infection; prevents tears of the incision; eases insertion and placement; and provides a true no-touch operation. In use, the retractor anchors the guide member to the patient while allowing the manipulation pouch to be manipulated to force the prosthesis into a surgical cavity of a patient.
