A surgical device for assisting in the placement of a prosthetic implant within a surgical pocket of a patient comprises a bag (200) shaped as a conical frustum in which a proximal end of the conical frustum is sealed and a distal end (204) of the conical frustum is open, with an elongated slit extending from the distal end towards the proximal end. An opening formed by the distal opening and the elongated slit is sufficiently large enough to accept the prosthetic implant (202) into the bag. According to one embodiment, an adhesive (212) is affixed along a portion of the elongated slit to seal the elongated slit such that the distal end remains open, thereby allowing for egress of the implant from the bag and placement into the surgical pocket.
