1. A bone implant for enclosing bone material, the bone implant comprising:
a mesh having an inner surface and an outer surface opposing the inner surface, the inner surface having a plurality of projections extending from the inner surface and the inner surface configured to receive a bone material when the inner surface of the mesh is in an open configuration, wherein the inner surface has a center and a perimeter, the center being disposed in a middle of the perimeter along a longitudinal axis of the inner surface;
a mating section disposed on the center of the inner surface of the mesh, the mating section having a longitudinal recess along the longitudinal axis of the inner surface to receive the bone material in the open configuration; and
a closed configuration formed from an engagement between the plurality of projections and the mating section of the inner surface, wherein at least a portion of the bone material is disposed within the mating section on the inner surface of the mesh and is enclosed by the inner surface in the closed configuration, wherein the outer surface has a first edge and a second edge, the first edge being adjacent to the second edge, each edge configured to form a seal with the inner surface.
