OPTION 1
Holding the 2" x 3" bag in one hand and supporting the plug with your fingertips, slide the inserter into the bag. Gently guide the inserter wire into the hole in the dome end of the plug.
    If the plug partially loads, a pair of standard forceps may be used to complete the loading process by placing the forceps onto the nose portion of the plug to further advance it onto the wire.
    A properly loaded position is insured when the plug's dome is nearly flush with the canula on the inserter.
    Special care should be taken not to tear or perforate the plug.
OPTION 2
Using a pair of standard forceps, carefully remove a plug from the 2" x 3" bag by grasping the plug by the shaft (mid-section).
    While holding the forceps with the plug in one hand, carefully guide the inserter wire into the hole on the dome end of the plug. This will partially load the plug onto the inserter. Next, place the forceps onto the nose portion of the plug to further advance it onto the wire.
    A properly loaded position is insured when the plug's dome is nearly flush with the canula on the inserter.
    Special care should be taken not to tear or perforate the plug.
