ABSTRACT:
A kit for use in the surgical implantation of an shaped implant. The kit includes a shaped balloon dissector packaged with an implant which, when inflated, has a shape complimentary with the shape of the dissector. Using orientation indicia for proper orientation, the surgical site is dissected with the shaped balloon dissector. Once so prepared, a shaped deflated implant is positioned within the site and then inflated. Since the implant's shape is complementary with the dissector's shape, the implant fits within the site without requiring excess site preparation.
