ABSTRACT:
A tool and method for introducing an implant through an incision in a body utilizing a tube having a hole through which the implant is pressed. In the preferred embodiment, a two part tube has one open end and one closed end. The tube contains an expanding structure, for applying pressure on the implant, optionally a pressure transmitting structure, and an implant. The expanding structure is expanded optionally by gas or fluid filling the structure. Optionally, a collar is disposed around the tube near the opening, selectively covering and uncovering a cut-out in the tube which permits manipulation of the implant prior to insertion.
