A transcutaneous implant tool comprising: an elongate body defining a bore and having a length along which the bore extends, the bore being sized to contain a medical element and including an opening formed at a distal end of the body; a fin connected to the body in proximity to the distal end thereof, the fin comprising a terminal end, located proximal to the distal end of the body, and a relatively flat distal-facing surface that extends proximally from the opening of the bore to the terminal end of the fin at an acute angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of the bore; and an injection rod including a distal surface, the injection rod fitting within the bore and moveable along the longitudinal axis to a position in relatively close proximity to the opening of the bore where the distal surface of the injection rod is approximately coplanar with the distal-facing surface of the fin.
