Next, the free end (216) of the light assembly (200) is inserted through a central location of the site of repair. Finally, the center mark (110) of the mesh (100) is aligned with the light beam (214) of the light assembly (200) to position the mesh (100) at the central location of the site of repair.1/4 10 200 14 D 214 12 100 110 300 FIG. 1 210 - 212 21 6 1 FIG. 2
