Method For Implanting A Non-Liquid Object
First Claim
1. A method for implanting a non-liquid object, comprising:
- forming a subcutaneous implantation site by urging a subcutaneous implantation instrument that comprises an incising shaft with a beveled cutting blade formed on a distal end subdurally to a predetermined depth, wherein the incising shaft longitudinally defines a substantially non-circular bore;
deploying a non-liquid object into the subcutaneous implantation site by progressively urging a delivery mechanism distally through a syringe body proximally affixed to the incising shaft to deploy the implantable object into the incising shaft and thence to insert the implantable object into the subcutaneous implantation site; and
withdrawing the incising shaft from the subcutaneous implantation site, which is subsequently closed.

Abstract
A method for implanting a non-liquid object is provided. A subcutaneous implantation site is formed by urging a subcutaneous implantation instrument that includes an incising shaft with a beveled cutting blade formed on a distal end subdurally to a predetermined depth, wherein the incising shaft longitudinally defines a substantially non-circular bore. A non-liquid object is deployed into the subcutaneous implantation site by progressively urging a delivery mechanism distally through a syringe body proximally affixed to the incising shaft to deploy the implantable object into the incising shaft and thence to insert the implantable object into the subcutaneous implantation site. The incising shaft is withdrawn from the subcutaneous implantation site, which is subsequently closed.

-
urging a subcutaneous implantation instrument that comprises an incising shaft with a beveled cutting blade formed on a distal end subdurally to a predetermined depth within a body, wherein the incising shaft longitudinally defines a substantially non-circular bore; progressively urging a delivery mechanism distally through a syringe body proximally affixed to the incising shaft to deploy a non-liquid implantable object into the incising shaft and to insert the implantable object subcutaneously; and withdrawing the incising shaft from within the body. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)
