Surgical devices and methods

A surgical device deployment tool, the tool comprising:

• a handle member having a proximal end and a distal end;
• and
• a shaft integrally attached to said distal end of said handle member, said shaft extending distally and terminating at a shaft head, said shaft head having one or more receiving members formed thereon,
• wherein said one or more receiving members are sized to receive correspondingly sized structures of a surgical instrument to be deployed in a surgical procedure.

A surgical device for providing soft tissue compression and fluid retention during surgical procedures, said surgical device comprising:

• a base member having an aperture extending from a proximal end to a distal end;
• and
• a plurality of flexible biasing devices attached to said base, said biasing devices having shafts distally extending from said base,
• wherein said shafts are naturally biased in an outward direction,
• wherein said biasing devices are flexible such that, following insertion of at least a portion of said device into a patient during a surgical procedure, at least a portion of said shafts are compressed inwardly to form a substantially impermeable seal.
