Abstract
The instant invention is directed to a mammary prosthesis injector. The injector comprises a hollow tube having an opening at one end thereof. A bag for holding the prosthesis and reducing friction between the tube and the prosthesis is located, in part, within the tube. A mechanism for pulling the bag from within the tube is slidably mounted on the exterior of the tube and engages the bag. The prosthesis, which is held within the bag which is within the tube, is ejected from the tube and through the opening when the pulling mechanism is slid along the exterior of the tube.
