Abstract
An apparatus and method for separating a first layer of tissue from a second layer of tissue. An inflatable balloon is mounted to a delivery device. The inflatable balloon has a first, inwardly-displaced portion which everts when the balloon is inflated. The balloon is inserted into a patient between the first and second tissue layers when the balloon is in the deflated state. The balloon is then inflated so that the first portion is everted thereby minimizing trauma to the tissue layers.
