Abstract: A system for simply and effectively introducing transponders into human or animal recipients is disclosed. A transponder, such as a microchip, is coated with a degradable coating and shaped so that is may be pushed through the recipient's skin. An insertion tool is used as indicated by the type of recipient. The tool receives the transponder, protects the transponder while it is pushed into the skin, and releases the transponder when rotated.
