Abstract: The present invention is a device, system and method for surgical soft tissue lesion excision. The device is designed to be placed into a soft tissue lesion preferably under radiologic guidance and deployed. Once deployed, the shape memory wires of the soft tissue encompassing element form a wire cage surrounding the lesion which acts as an excision guide, encompassing and protecting the lesion during surgical excision of the lesion.

Abstract: An apparatus, method and system for the deployment of surgical mesh material, which are particularly suited for the use in the laparoscopic surgical repair of hernias. An inner actuator rod slides within a main shaft. Mesh deployment arms are connected to an end of the shaft, and a surgical mesh is mounted to and rolled around the deployment arms. An outer housing slides over the main shaft, the deployment arms, and conformed mesh. By sliding the main shaft in a first direction, the mesh is exposed and the actuator rod is retracted, which actively flexes the deployment arms, thereby unfurling the mesh. By sliding the main shaft in an opposite direction, the to tension on the deployment arms is relaxed, and the deployment arms disengage from the actuator rod allowing the deployment apparatus to be withdrawn from the mesh.
