摘要

The assembly designed for use with plastic implants for introduction into the body comprises a sleeve (2) that encloses the implant and has one side unfastened by an opener (3) that is operated by a positive action to release the implant so it can assume its designated shape. The sleeve is made from a textile mesh with two opposite edges (8A, 8B) fastened together by interlocking loops (4) until released by the opener.
