Claim:
1. A device for implanting a prosthesis in a body tissue, comprising: a tubular element, at its own interior defining a channel (Z) having extension direction along an axis (X-X) and cross section of area (A), within which a prosthesis can slide that has a cross section of area (T); a pressure element movable inside the channel (Z) for moving said prosthesis; characterized in that it comprises: a cartridge provided with a chamber (C), in communication with the channel (Z), comprising a seat, preferably with extension direction along an axis (H-H) and cross section of area (V), housing the prosthesis and movable inside the chamber (C); a pusher element operating on the seat in order to facilitate the movement of the seat inside the chamber (C) from a first position, in which the area (V) of the cross section of the seat is outside the area (A) of the cross section of the tubular element, the seat not facing the channel (Z), to a second position, in which the area (V) of the cross section of the seat at least partly intersects the area (A) of the cross section of the tubular element, inducing a communication between the channel (Z) and the seat suitable for facilitating the insertion of the prosthesis inside the channel (Z) upon command of the pressure element.
