A cartridge for a system that includes a handle and the cartridge, where the handle is configured to accept a series of such cartridges and impart mechanical energy to the cartridge to deliver an implant, the cartridge comprising: a slidable cutter block; a slidable pusher block; an extension spring; wherein the slidable cutter block is connected to the slidable pusher block via the extension spring, and the cutter block and the pusher block are configured to slide in a linear direction within a body of the cartridge; characterized in that the cartridge further comprises: a pivotable implant actuator within the body of the cartridge and engaged with the pusher block such that the implant actuator prevents the pusher block from sliding when the implant actuator is in a first position; a cutter pawl within the body of the cartridge and between the cutter block and the pusher block, wherein the cutter pawl is movable between: an engaged position with the cutter block such that the cutter pawl prevents the cutter block from sliding towards the pusher block, and a disengaged position with the cutter block such that the cutter pawl allows the cutter block to slide towards the pusher block; and wherein when the implant actuator is in the first position, and the cutter pawl is in the engaged position, the spring is in an extended position exerting a force tending to draw the cutter block and the pusher block toward each other. a slidable cutter block; a slidable pusher block; an extension spring; wherein the slidable cutter block is connected to the slidable pusher block via the extension spring, and the cutter block and the pusher block are configured to slide in a linear direction within a body of the cartridge; characterized in that the cartridge further comprises: a pivotable implant actuator within the body of the cartridge and engaged with the pusher block such that the implant actuator prevents the pusher block from sliding when the implant actuator is in a first position; a cutter pawl within the body of the cartridge and between the cutter block and the pusher block, wherein the cutter pawl is movable between: an engaged position with the cutter block such that the cutter pawl prevents the cutter block from sliding towards the pusher block, and a disengaged position with the cutter block such that the cutter pawl allows the cutter block to slide towards the pusher block; a pivotable implant actuator within the body of the cartridge and engaged with the pusher block such that the implant actuator prevents the pusher block from sliding when the implant actuator is in a first position; a cutter pawl within the body of the cartridge and between the cutter block and the pusher block, wherein the cutter pawl is movable between: an engaged position with the cutter block such that the cutter pawl prevents the cutter block from sliding towards the pusher block, and a disengaged position with the cutter block such that the cutter pawl allows the cutter block to slide towards the pusher block; an engaged position with the cutter block such that the cutter pawl prevents the cutter block from sliding towards the pusher block, and a disengaged position with the cutter block such that the cutter pawl allows the cutter block to slide towards the pusher block; and wherein when the implant actuator is in the first position, and the cutter pawl is in the engaged position, the spring is in an extended position exerting a force tending to draw the cutter block and the pusher block toward each other.
