Claim 0:
1. A device for delivering an implant into a surgically-created implant pocket in a subject, the device comprising:
a delivery member having an upper surface and a lower surface, the delivery member having an aperture formed therein and extending through the upper surface and the lower surface; and
a shielding member coupled with the delivery member, the shielding member having an inner bore having a longitudinal axis extending therethrough, the inner bore extending longitudinally along the longitudinal axis between a proximal end having a proximal opening and a distal end having a distal opening, the inner bore extending a predetermined length away from the lower surface of the delivery member;
wherein the proximal end of the shielding member is coupled with the delivery member and the inner bore is substantially aligned with the aperture formed in the delivery member;
wherein the delivery member extends away from the shielding member in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis;
wherein the delivery member is operable to wrap around the implant to form a conforming cavity around the implant that conforms to the shape of the implant;
wherein the inner bore is operable to receive the implant therethrough when mechanical force is applied to the lower surface of the delivery member; and
wherein the delivery member comprises a plurality of lengths defining an outer edge of the delivery member, each of the lengths comprising a radius of curvature.
