A breast implant delivery sleeve is a sterile, flexible tube designed to help surgeons insert a prefilled breast implant into a surgically created pocket. It reduces friction between the implant and surrounding tissue, allowing smoother placement without altering the implant's shape or size.
This device is intended for single use only and is typically made from polyethylene plastic. It is used without additional lubricants beyond saline and is manipulated by twisting the distal end or by hand to guide the implant through the sleeve.
