ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for implanting within a human or animal body a surgical device which includes a tubular member with outside markings having a removable pointed end member mounted in the front end of the tubular member; a rod member slidably mounted within the tubular member and a removable handle member secured to the rear end of the tubular member. A pair of incision are made in the body adjacent the area in which the surgical device is to be implanted. The assembled device is inserted in one incision until the pointed end protrudes through the second incision. The pointed end member and the hand handle member are then removed. One end of the implantable surgical device is then attached to one end of the rod member which is then withdrawn from the tubular member together with the surgical device until the surgical device is properly positioned in the tissue. Once the rod member and one end of the surgical device has been withdrawn through the tubular member, the surgical device is removed, from the rod member. The surgeon stabilizes the surgical device at the second incision by holding one of the free ends of the surgical device. The tubular member is then withdrawn from the body leaving the surgical device in the desired implanted area.
