Claim:
1. A device for delivering filling material into a body comprising: (a) a cartridge having an inner volume for receiving a quantity of filling material and a distal opening; (b) a guide body defining an inner channel, said guide body and said cartridge being configured for deployment in mutually-abutting fixed spatial relation so that said inner channel of said guide body and said inner volume of said cartridge together define a continuous channel, said continuous channel extending beyond said guide body, said cartridge being removable from said guide body; and (c) a plunger extending through said inner channel of said guide body and selectively displaceable in a direction of motion so as to advance through said inner volume of said cartridge so as to expel said quantity of filling material from said distal opening, wherein said plunger terminates in a distal tip, and wherein, in a fully inserted state of said plunger, said distal tip projects distally beyond said distal opening of said cartridge, wherein said cartridge has a length in a direction parallel to the direction of motion, and wherein a length of said guide body in a direction parallel to the direction of motion is greater than said length of said cartridge.
