a first guide tube configured to hold the implantable device therein in a radially compressed state, the first guide tube comprising a distal end configured to be introduced through an anal orifice into the intestine to a position upstream of the anastomosis site;
a second guide tube positioned proximal to the first guide tube;
a stop between the first guide tube and the second guide tube, the stop having a diameter larger than that of the first guide tube and the second guide tube; and
a handle positioned, in a delivery state, proximal to the second guide tube, wherein a distance between the first guide tube and the handle is configured to be reduced to release the implantable device out of the distal end of the first guide tube at the position upstream of the anastomosis site for implanting the implantable device for protecting the anastomosis site.
