A surgical device for assisting in the placement of a prosthetic implantwithin a surgicalpocket of a patient such that placement minimizes tissue stress along andinside the surgicalpocket. The surgical device comprises a bag shaped as a conical frustum inwhich a proximalend of the conical frustum is sealed and a distal end of the conical frustumis open, with anelongated slit extending from the distal end towards the proximal end. Anopening formed bythe distal opening and the elongated slit is sufficiently large enough toaccept the prostheticimplant into the bag. According to one embodiment, an adhesive is affixedalong a portion ofthe elongated slit to seal the elongated slit such that the distal end remainsopen, therebyallowing for egress of the implant from the bag and placement into thesurgical pocket.
