Patent ID: 8821507

Claim:
A tissue augment sheet delivery system comprising: a wire frame having at least one loop; a tissue augment sheet attached to the wire frame by a monofilament; a handle attached to the wire frame extending along a longitudinal handle axis; a longitudinal tube adjacent the handle and extending parallel to the longitudinal handle axis, at least a portion of the monofilament capable of passing through the longitudinal tube; and a tube funnel adaptor comprising a funnel and a funnel tube attached to the funnel, the funnel tube extending along a longitudinal funnel axis, and the funnel comprising a first exposed open end having a first width and an opposed second end having a second width less than the first width, wherein a widest portion of the funnel is at the first exposed open end, the widest portion of the funnel having a first shape that is gradually reduced in a conical manner to a second shape, and the second shape matching an internal diameter of the funnel tube, wherein the wire frame compresses to pass through the tube funnel adaptor, wherein a plane of the at least one loop is angled relative to the longitudinal funnel axis so as to cause the wire frame to collapse and the tissue augment sheet attached to the wire frame to be aligned with the longitudinal funnel axis when the wire frame passes through the tube funnel adaptor, and wherein the tissue augment sheet conforms to an internal space of the tube funnel adaptor.
