Abstract
An apparatus for use in a surgical procedure for delivering a prosthetic implant comprises a flexible sleeve configured with a first end and a second end, the flexible sleeve being tapered such that a width of a region at the second end is relatively smaller than a width of a region at the first end, and an interior surface of the flexible sleeve that form an interior cavity, the interior cavity being sized to receive the prosthetic implant; one or more surface active coatings are applied to the interior cavity. The flexible sleeve is manipulatable such that when the prosthetic implant is positioned within the interior cavity, a manually applicable directional pressure in the direction of the second end causes the prosthetic implant to extrude from the second end.
