1. A device for delivering an implant to an orbit comprising:
- a handle;
a tongue member extending from a distal portion of the handle;
an ejector, wherein the ejector comprises a control slider slidably attached to the handle, a pusher slidably attached to the tongue member, and a linkage connecting the control slider and the pusher; and
a piercing member having a piercing tip, wherein the piercing member is moveable between a piercing configuration in which the piercing tip extends beyond a tip of the tongue member and a retracted configuration in which the piercing tip does not extend beyond the tip of the tongue member, the control slider configured to move the piercing member from the retracted configuration to the piercing configuration during withdrawal of the control slider,wherein advancement of the control slider relative to the handle advances the pusher relative to the tongue member, and wherein withdrawal of the control slider relative to the handle withdraws the pusher relative to the tongue member.
