Claim 18:
19. A nasal implant delivery system comprising:
a nasal implant; and
a nasal implant delivery tool comprising:
(i) an inner handle including a loading chamber configured to receive the nasal implant;
(ii) an outer handle configured to move axially relative to the inner handle between a plurality of locking positions,
(iii) a plurality of locking structures configured to releasably lock the outer handle from moving relative to the inner handle at the plurality of locking positions,
(iv) a needle extending distally from the inner handle, the needle having a central lumen and a distal opening,
(v) a push rod configured to move the nasal implant from the loading chamber, through the central lumen, and out the distal opening of the needle, wherein the push rod is coupled to the outer handle such that the push rod moves axially relative to the inner handle when the outer handle is moved axially relative to the inner handle, and
(vi) an implant orientation indicator configured to indicate an orientation of the nasal implant within the nasal implant delivery tool,
wherein the implant orientation indicator includes a first arm projecting from the nasal implant delivery tool in a first direction and a second arm projecting from the nasal implant delivery tool in a second direction, and
wherein the first arm and second arm of the implant orientation indicator define a plane that is substantially similar to a plane formed by a first arm and a second arm of the nasal implant in a deployed configuration.
