1. A deployment device for supple surgical material, comprising: an elongated rod having a proximal end and a distal end, a drawstring with a first end and a second end running along the length of said rod from said proximal end to said distal end and slidably passing through an opening at said distal end of said rod, said drawstring forming a loop at said distal end of said rod, said loop having a variable circumference varying between an expanded circumference and a reduced circumference, depending upon the position of said first end relative to said rod, a plurality of segments each having a lumen therethrough and threaded over said drawstring in the area of said loop, said segments bearing against one another when the circumference of said loop is reduced and assuming a relative alignment such that said plurality of segments are arranged to approximate a generally planar closed figure.
