Abstract
A delivery device used to deploy a biological construct into the glenohumeral joint space for minimal disruption to repair a partial rotator cuff tear. The biological construct is positioned on the articular side of the tendon tear and introduced into the joint space so that the construct supports the tear without further tearing or damaging the tendon. The patch is secured to the tear with stiches on the bursal side of the tear.
