Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to a tool, a kit including said tool, and a method of use of the tool or the kit for making a subcutaneous pocket in a layer of fat for the introduction of a subcutaneous medical device, and more specifically, a tool, kit, and method of use thereof using a calibrated inflatable volume with a guide to open a subcutaneous pocket at the appropriate location in a body by inflating the volume to the appropriate size. The tool is calibrated to rest against a layer of muscle using a guide wire and inflate in a specific shape to a specific volume to gently displace fatty tissue that may obstruct the implantation of a subcutaneous device between the skin and the ultimate resting place. The tools allows for creating localized lateral retraction in an area of interest without placing strain on the skin or the muscle. A kit using the tool further includes surgical equipment needed for the surgery.
