<p>A device for delivering a soft tissue repair prosthetic is disclosed. It comprises an expandable device configured to be removably connected with a soft tissue repair prosthetic, the expandable device having a first axis and a second axis, the first axis being substantially perpendicular to the second axis. The expandable device also has a length measurable in a direction of the first axis and a width measurable in a direction of the second axis. The second axis defines a maximum width of the expandable device and the expandable device is configured to be manipulated about the first axis into a reduced configuration for insertion into a body. The expandable device includes a first outer expandable segment, a second outer expandable segment, and an intermediate segment extending therebetween. The intermediate expandable segment extends substantially along the first axis and each of the first and second outer expandable segments bow away from the intermediate expandable segment and form respective openings therebetween. No expandable segment connects either of the first and second outer expandable segments with the intermediate expandable segment along the second axis.</p> |
