Abstract:
1. A method for constructing an instrument for use in subcutaneous implantation, comprising: forming an incising body comprising a syringe body fixedly attached to an incising shaft and open on both distal and proximal ends; defining a non-circular bore along a longitudinal axis through the syringe body and the incising shaft, the bore sized to enclose an implant; sharpening a bottom edge of the distal end of the incising shaft; constructing a two-part plunger, comprising: inserting the proximal ends of the tongue blade and the plunger of the two-part plunger through the open distal end of the bore until the distal ends of the tongue blade and the plunger are inside the bore and the proximal ends of the tongue blade and the plunger shafts extend beyond the proximal end of the syringe body of the incising body.
