ABSTRACT:
A medical device for deploying surgical fabric at an operative site within a body cavity of a patient. The device includes a deploying member in the form of an elongated inserter shaft with a supporting member in the form of a sheet of plastic attached to a distal end of the shaft. A sheet of surgical fabric is placed on the supporting member and rolled around the inserter shaft. An introducer tube surrounds the rolled-up fabric and supporting member to prevent them from unrolling. The introducer tube may then be inserted into the body cavity and retracted to allow the supporting member to self-unwind the fabric sheet within the body cavity. The device may also provide for irrigation of the surgical site.
