ABSTRACT:
An implant gun for depositing pellets or the like subcutaneously. The gun includes a hollow needle through which a number of pellets are dispensed from a cartridge that is positioned either inside the needle or in an ante-chamber. The action of the gun is such that the pellets are gently deposited in the tissue as the needle is withdrawn from the cavity formed in the tissue at the time the needle was inserted. This technique practically eliminates any breaking of the fragile pellets and reduces the trauma of their insertion into the tissue. The implant gun also includes a unique ram activating mechanism that frees one of the hands of the operator so that the implanting procedure can be conducted without assistance. The implant gun is also easily adapted for use in implanting single items other than pellets, such as identification tags for animals.
