    Abstract: A method and apparatus for inserting a soft pliable prosthesis, such as a mammary prosthesis, into a human body through an incision. A prosthesis to be inserted is contained in an open mouthed inner bag of flexible fluid impervious sheet material and in a preferred form of the invention, a second outer open mouthed bag of similar material is sealingly joined to the inner bag at the mouths of the bags by means of a ring member seal. The outer bag carries a charge of fluid.
