  • Patent number: 6964648
    Abstract: A disposable device for inserting one or more implants, the device including a tublar cannula (10) having a tip (11), the cannula also serving as a container for the implants, a plunger (20) and a handle (30) having a first end (31) directed towards the cannula, and a second end (32) directed away from the cannula.
